Our condolences to the friends and family of an iconic skateboarder Andy Kessler. A godfather of New York City skateboarding, Kessler was an innovator of urban skating. The most prominent skater of the 1970s Soul Artists of Zoo York, his impact and influence on skateboarding and street art cannot be overstated.

Thanks for all that you did Andy.
