Skateboarding his way to the top

By Hollie Harris

PAT Gemzik is recognised worldwide for his skateboarding achievements and Invicta-Youth is very excited to have him coming to Noosa next week to share his passion with youths.
Pat is from Nelson, British Columbia and moved to Australia when he was young.
He is an amazing mentor, coach, motivator and works with Indigenous communities alongside the government.
Pat coaches and holds skateboarding camps, where he shares his knowledge and “good vibes” as well as uses this platform as an opportunity to mentor his young aspiring students.
Invicta Youth is a Noosa start-up which focuses on building youth through a progressive mentorship programme, also running services to schools and weekly programmes for youths.
There will be an evening session to meet Pat Gemzik and receive awesome mentorship from this great role model, share stories and get some great insight into the world of a professional skateboarder and the adversities, courage and commitment that go with it.
Head to 9 Gibson Road, Noosaville, in the Cross Fit building above Gibson’s Coffee shop in the Harvey Norman centre on Friday 16 September 6-8pm.
Alternatively, take a skate lesson and session with this world renowned coach on Saturday 17 September 8-11am.
