We Meet Skater and Salon Skateboards Founder Stefani Nurding in London

Including quick fire Q&A!

POSTED BY FIZZY STAFF

Stefani Nurding is no noob to the world of skateboarding. She's the queen of shredding in heels, loves everything pink, runs her own skate brand, Salon Skateboards, and is a well-established Influencer in London City.

We first introduced you to Stefani in 2016; a lot has happened since then. Her following doubled, her business grew, and she became a mother to her now four-year-old son.

We caught up with Stefani last week and took the opportunity to capture her in a fun and vibrant Arcade setting; shout out to Funland for being so kind to let us shoot there. Scroll through the images and Q&A below:

"Goals? Do a backflip on my snowboard again."

 

Stefani, describe yourself in 3 words:

Imaginative, loving, positive.

Five fashion items you can't live without?

Puffer jackets, tracksuits, skorts, hair ties, and tiny bags.

3 songs currently playing on your Spotify playlist:

Nwantiti 'Joe Boy', Trajic 'Kid Laroi', Buzzkill 'Baby Queen'.

What is your biggest fear?

Not giving 100% to my dreams.

If you were a sneaker, which one would you be and why?

There's a special place in my heart for a high-top shoe with a flat sole, good for the gym, for skateboarding, and looks cute with skirts :))

"Biggest fear? Not giving 100% to my dreams."

 

How did you get into skateboarding?

I learned the basics as a kid, and I've been involved in surfing my whole life because I'm from near the sea in England; I picked it up properly at 18 and started doing it a lot.

What's your favorite skate trick?

Half cab flip feels so good :) 

Would you date a skater?

Yeah I could; skateboarders can be open-minded and fun people with passion for life and travel, and I think that could be a fun relationship with shared interests.

What's the meanest thing people said to you on the internet?

I got emailed death threats for a while when I was first doing the pink VXs.

Goals?

  1. Growing my brand @salon_skateboards 
  2. Creating more fun content in nice locations
  3. Hosting events and community projects 
  4. Do a backflip on my snowboard again (I haven't done since I was a teenager)
  5. Enjoy the year
