Portraits: Tristan Rennie

While in kindergarten, learning different shapes, letters, how to count, and all other foundation skills, Tristan Rennie knew that he wanted to be a professional skateboarder. Little did kindergarten Tristan know that dream would come true, but his adult self is now taking up a career that most kids would pick as their dream job.

Tristan has devoted 20 years of his life to skateboarding. He has covered contest podiums, compiled remarkable footage, and continues to keep the spirit of backyard pool skating alive. Only most recently, in the past four years, has everything outside of skateboarding changed for Tristan, as he becomes a father and husband, which leads him to build a career safety net outside of skateboarding.
