Back on the Board: Amber Clyde

by Manual Magazine

Posted 07 Mar 2023

Skateboarder Amber Clyde works to get back on the board following the birth of her second daughter. No stranger to the challenges of the skate park, Clyde founded Girls Skate NZ to empower and educate young women in the sport.

For the first time, Clyde brings audiences inside the challenges of her everyday life from teaching classes at the bowl, to managing the hurdles in her personal life – all while trying to find the confidence to get back on the board.

Directed by Kenneth Chapman.

Made with the support of NZ On Air.
