You might have been following our work for a while now, or you might be new here! No matter how long you’ve known FMS for, we bet there are some things you don’t know about the most important part of our organization; our TEAM!
From skate instructors to fundraising managers, our team consists of a brilliant group of people, with different skills, background and stories. One of them is Christos Seferlis! A jack-of-all-trades when it comes to board sports, Christos is one of our instructors and a top-tier skater. If you haven’t checked the previous article with Erato, check it out here.
When and why did you start skating?
I started skating at the age of 8 years old. Well, I got my hands on a skateboard for the first time through my big brother. My dad bought him a board and I stole it from him immediately. Got my first ollie that day too. From that point and after, I never stopped.
What’s your favourite thing about skateboarding?
My favourite thing is to just take my board and go for a ride, empty my head and enjoy the moment. At the end of the day, it’s always about those simple moments.
Why did you decide to work with FMS, and what exactly do you do?
I’ve been studying and teaching board sports for several years, so it was a good opportunity to get involved into skating and be part of a wonderful cause.
What’s your current setup?
My current set up is a 8.25 board, 145 trucks and 52 wheels
What do you do apart from working for FMS?
I’m studying physical education and sports management.
Favourite place you’ve skated?
Pipeline skatepark in Hawaii.
