In this installment of Oakley's ‘More Than a Skater’ series, we step into the world of Eric Koston: life’s balancing act, creativity, skateboarding, and the importance of taking on new challenges.
From running multiple businesses to being a legit family man; finding time to skate to his exhausting travel schedule and escaping to more leisurely activities like golf and surfing, Koston's plate is always full.
This video offers a really sincere look inside Koston's day-to-day, and in fairness, how well he seems to handle it all. Owning a house and having three kids to take care of is a mission in itself—without the stress of running a business, constantly traveling and keeping a skate career going—but Koston makes it happen.
"In a world where first impressions rule, we often get stuck at a superficial level and overlook the hidden depths within people," says Oakley about the series. And it's a great point. There's always more to everyone than meets the eye, especially the heroes who are so important to our subcultures.
"Leave the labels aside and join us as we explore the power of embracing our differences and diverse interests," they add. "And discover the beauty in being more than what others may perceive."
Oh yeah, he hints at a new video part around 3:43—game on!
Decades of inspiration and still providing...Koston will forever be one of the realest.
