Poisson Cru by Heimana Reynolds
We welcome Olympian Heimana Reynolds. Heimana is a local boy that has made a name for himself as a top notch skateboarder. In 2009 Heimana told a KGMB reporter that his goal was to become a professional skateboarder and compete in the Olympics. Eleven years later, Heimana has risen to the top in park skateboarding and accomplished that goal in Tokyo when skateboarding made its Olympic debut. At a very young age he developed a love for surfing and skateboarding. Every day after school he would be at the skatepark till sunset and then jump in the water to surf before dark. His family has a skate school and skate shop called Proper Rideshop in Honolulu and runs the only indoor skatepark on the island, you can often find Heimana there teaching other youngsters about the sport he loves. Heimana has lived in Hawaii his entire life and is deeply connected to his Hawaiian and Tahitian roots and culture. Today he shares that love in a Tahitian recipe he learned from his grandmother, poisson cru.
