Back On The Board follows Amber Clyde, skateboarder and founder of Girls Skate NZ, as she works to rebuild her confidence on her board while juggling solo motherhood.
After dedicating years to helping young women find their confidence in skateboarding, Amber must teach herself how to get back on the board after the birth of her second child. But balancing the realities of being a solo Mum with running her own business means that her time is limited, and the risk of injury looms larger than ever before. In this intimate observational documentary, audiences are invited inside the life of one of skateboarding’s most impassioned advocates to experience the hurdles she faces when she has to advocate for herself.
The documentary was directed, filmed, and edited by Kenneth Chapman, and produced by Amber Easby, Sophie Dowson, and Aleisha Thorn.
