Inspiring! I’m 71 and feel the same about skiing , get in an average of 100 days a year. “Keep moving”, the best advice I ever got.

I'm 57. I still skate. When my son was 4 I dug out my old G&S Proline 500. It was beat up. Over the years I used it as a moving dolly, a shelf, you name it. We stripped it down, repaired the wood, found a good set of 65 Kryptonic Reds and breathed new life into yet. Why? It took all summer in 1978 just to get enough money for the deck. The trucks and wheels had to wait another few months. To me that board is a metaphor of a goal achieved. I was so happy to be able to share it with my son. I still skate. I still fall. I'm no better at it than I ever was. but just like when I was 11, I still think I am only a few more practices away from getting better and like Franck, I love doing it with friends.

This man moves better than most 50 year olds. Great to see an older man living his life to the full and doing what he loves. Never let anyone stop you from achieving what you want in life!

I am 66 and still skate. Started skating somewhere around age10, surfing at age 13. I live away from the ocean now ☹️ but once a surfer - always a surfer😊. Skating keeps the flow alive and strong.🤙 Keep moving, keep young.

57 and still skating. Longboard carving simple hills. This is one of the best skate videos I’ve seen in a long time. Very motivating!

Once a skater, always a skater.

Salut Frank. Je m’appelle Guy sirois je demeure au Québec j’ai 66 ans. J’ai commencé le skateboard à 65 ans, je considère avoir perdu 50 ans de ma vie , et plus pour ne pas avoir commencé en bas âge. Les gens que je croise me trouve inspirant et je suis content de voir d’autres sportifs de mon âge qui attrape cette méchante passion qu’est le skateboard en particulier le surfskate (smoothstar) qui est un simulateur de surf Wow quel feeling. Je suis aussi très content de vous voir surfer l’asphalte à 70 ans, et qu’il y a de forte chance que je serais toujours debout sur ma planche dans 4 ans. On me trouve inspirant d’Avoir débuter le skateboard à 65 ans mais à partir d’aujourd’hui c’est vous monsieur Frank qui êtes mon inspiration. Félicitation et merci. Guy sirois Quebec Canada

Great , thank you , 52 years old , the last 2 years skated every day , hip Hip !!

Beautifully beautifully done, I’m 56 and today I walked into my local skate shop :-)

I turn 61 first week in November and i still surfskate. I started skateboarding when I was 12. I believe that things that were fun when we were kids should still be fun today. I will forever play "kick the can" (Twilight Zone).

Amazing I started surfskating at 56 , surfing at 54 , never felt so alive 🎉

Tres Bien Ronaldo, I'm turning 60 this year. My 60th birthday will be spent on a windy beach in southern mexico where I can play with my hydrofoil and kite all day. I also still enjoy getting out the ripstick and skating with my daughter occasionally. Being able to continue doing these things motivates me to stay healthy and in good physical condition.

Let them look and not understand! You are not doing it for them, but...because you can!!! I started skating at the age of 47, now I'm 58. And I know exactly these 2 types of looks. Do what you like!

his walking posture is better than people less than half his age, not to mention he can fall and get back up. amazing and inspirational.

Guys like this inspire me more to keep skating and surfing at 49yrs old than any top professional does!!! Stoked!!! Keep the flow going! 👍🤙🤘

I’m 55 and skated as a young kid, lived close to the beach and surfed for nearly 20 years and now at 55 have just received my first longboard!

Only a surfer (or skater) knows the feeling : ) 71, blessed, thankful and stoked surfing and skiing

I don’t skate or surf, but I appreciate the wisdom being shared here. This is real life.

at 73 i still snowboard down mountains. so yeah skating on a snowboard-best feeling ever

I am 46 and still surfing/skating/snowboarding… I suppose most of the riders of my generation and younger will try to keep riding as long as possible. So in few years, if we keep good health 🤞, we might see more and more Francks…😉

61 and still skating, love it more every day I skate.

His eyes and spirit are those of a 20 year old. Still rippin'. Well done!

I've been skating since 16 years old. I remember reading Transworld and Thrasher and seeing a photo of a 70 year old doing a frontside five-O in a big pool. I thought that was the coolest thing. I'm 51 now, still going strong and hope to make it to 70 and skating. I still take hard falls and push myself to keep my bones dense. I just give eye rolls to the 30 somethings that they skated but got too old to skate, then I tell them how old I am.

To all the OGs please keep skating... I'm finally skating with my son, grandson and son in law I can officially start my own team... Life is but a dream. I love all my skaters keep skating... Love.

I love surfskating and windskating (with the windsurf sail on the board). Today I usually do it at Tempelhof airfield in Berlin. I learned windsurfing from a pensioner at the sea back then. Today I am a pensioner with 67 years and try to keep fit by skating.

What a classy man. Flow forever Franck!! 👊

Got my surf skate when I was 50 after many years not skating, it is like you say, Franck … when you skate, the flow is with you … wish you many more good sessions!

69 year old bat in da house who’s so excited by this lovely film and wishing she’d never given up her little cheep-o skateboard from the 70’s‼️

This man is awesome and very inspiring. I just turned 40 and went on KZfaq to look up videos of people who still skateboard in their 40's to see if I won't be alone and stumbled upon this video. 70 years old and still skateboarding! Absolutely incredible.

I’m almost 58 , when time permits , I enjoy riding my longboard, and I get asked “aren’t you too old for that ? “ and I think, that is so sad to think like that. And I reply, no, and keep going. Really enjoyed your story. Keep that mindset, and don’t conform.

Legend! I've been skateboarding since 1986 without a break in time and explored the disciplines, different boards, terrains, tricks. I just found surf skating. I'm stoked and this is fun. Never too old to shred. Very rad video. Like this man, I never expected to quit riding. I just can't get enough. Cheers!😎🌊

"Playing with Gravity." I loved that!

What a wonderful episode! I loved getting to know Frank, he looks so munch younger! Beautiful images, great story !

I'm just starting to surfskate at 37, and I kick myself that I didn't start sooner. I've been seeking that flow all my life, and I'll never stop!

Wow, this is so inspiring! You rock Franck 🤙🏻Thank you for sharing this video. I just started surfskating last week with almost 43 and I love it. I am hoping to stay in the flow like you. Definitely seems to keep you young! 😉 We might come and visit your „Nice“ boardwalk in the near future. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭Keep it up 👊🏻

dude, he even rolls into a fall like a true skater. even though we don't speak the same language, I truly emphasize with his love for the flow of motion. 👍😎👍

100% agree with Franck! Let's enjoy and happen what will happen! Great video!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’m 37 and teaching my 3 year old who is obsessed. Skateboarding is freedom.

I'm in awe. This is magnificent. He doesn't look his age either. Beautifully inspiring.

I am 56 and started surfskating one year ago. Wonderful feeling, and I hope I'll be skating forever. At my age, I can say that social incorrectness about something that doesn't limit other people's freedom does not exist. Envy does exist, though.

Je fais du skate à 40ans, mes amis se fichent de moi…je ne n’avais pas de doute sur mes envies, mais il m’en reste encore pas mal pour l’avenir. Bravo Mr

I've been into the fell running scene in the UK for several years. I'm 52 now and have folk 20 years plus my senior still moving well and strong. It's how we stay alive. Never give up.........

Franck je vous adore!!! J'ai eu mon premiere skate à 51, vite passer au surfskate. C'est un vrai plaisir, contente de savoir j'ai des années devant moi pour glisser.

Now I know how Young I Am as 40 years young. I want to thank You My older Brother in trucks. I want to show You My respect for Your Soul. Go on, and skate IT to the other side. Your Soul is immortal. And Your example made Me think about how I love My life, and My Wife. She is allways telling Me to never stop to snowboard, and to skate.

57 years old. Longboard, unicycle, drift trike. You can rest when you're dead.👍🏽

Started skateboarding at 10yo. Took it back up in my 30s with my kids. At 50 I began esk8. Love it! Now I get all dressed up, armor from head to toe and I'm riding 20-30mph out in traffic. If the sun is out, so am I...

I'm 46 and just brought my first surfskate to join my 8-yrs old son. Already broke my hand, but not gonna give up. Take care 😉

Beautiful documentary!! Wonderful pictures, great food for thought and amazing location! I hope that I can still surfskate when I am 70.

Merci! Superbe de le voir skater a 70 ans 👊 bravo jarrive a 59 et je continue a rouler 🛹

I am 58 and still love skating. I started in the 70s with a Penny board when I was 8. Felt home on a SIMS Andrecht since my teeny years. Then I came across a Surfskate when I was in France for Surfing a few years ago. It felt very instabile in the beginning, when you are used to an 11 Inch Poolboard. Now I am riding a Pukas La Loca Surfskate from Yow and equipped my Andrechts with the 210 Indies with a Surfskate adapter from Yow. Surfskating to me is the best skate-feeling ever. I‘m glad that I am still skating with friends since my younger days.

"Do not go gently into that dark night"

Two amazing phenomena here ….. that young fella skateboarding, and the top quality cinematography A1!!!!

I’m over 70 and I feel the same way about bicycling. As a child it was my escape and freedom, as an older person it is still a joy and privilege.

37 years old now still skating you are an inspiration❤

That's great and I've been skating over 57 years and slamming everyday and still get on my board and put in work. Keep rolling my fellow skater.

Still skating at 40, here.. only began skating again (since dropping it after I was 15) about 4 year ago and it's changed my life. There was a point early on, only a few months in, when it was clear I was an alcoholic (a clear choice, either continue skating or drinking.. not both).. skating saved me. Watching you is heartening. To think, I could have another 30 years with the board.. precious. Flow on, brother.

Beautiful. I want to still be ski touring and mountaineering when I'm 70. Hope he can continue his way of life for many more years to come.

Amazing video what a wonderful spirit! Just ride it 🙌

Skateboarding is pure freedom.

I am 48.been addicted to the flow since I was 9yo.broke my leg in January and feel it's time to get back into the flow.a lot of people in my village think I'm reckless for wanting to sk8 again but they don't understand the feeling of a board under your feet.the subtle vibration of wheels on tarmac. The absolute freedom and joy of the Flow.

I love to skate and snowboard and I also play hockey. I want to shout out the badass older crowd that's still playing hockey up here around Montreal. Better believe they're inspirational also.

I'm 44, surf, bodyboard, snowboard and ride my surfskate. The surfskate was the last thing I started (this year) and the one I can do the most because it relies less on variables like the weather. I don't understand why so many people stop this stuff in their 30s and 40s. It's fun and keeps you healthy and in shape. Go the Franck!

Beautiful Beautiful! Beautiful man, beautiful skating, beautiful film. Thank you!!

Wonderful video - thanks for sharing your story. I started at 10 years old and for many years it was my passion. We built a half pipe behind my house and would spend hours on it. After a long layoff, I am now 61 and back on the board the last few years. I get many looks at our skateparks, some laughing and others give me the thumbs up. Just having fun! Be safe out there.

It's awesome to see someone at his age still keep on skating

People are awesome, HUGE inspiration 👌🏼🙏🏼🔥

Respect and love...many thanks for sharing this inspiration. I hope Franck is still skating and doing well 👏

People like this make life beautiful

Bravo Monsieur❤❤❤❤❤

I am 53 and every day with good time,, greetings from Košice,

J’ai 67 and et j’ai commencé avec 63 ans. C’est merveilleux. Merci pour montrer que l’age c’est seulement un numéro

You didn't quit skateboarding because you got old ,you got old because you quit skateboarding ~Jay Adams🤘

You are never too old for anything, only your own body and mind show you your own limits.

This is really inspiring, just what I needed while I'm taking a break due to a knee injury. I always wonder how many good years of skating do I have left, I know I'll never fully quit but there will come a time that I can't throw my body around as much and need to tone down my style. But people like Franck give us all hope! 🔥

I got some old scateboard for free that was thrown out before some home. I used to skate when I was a child, but then someone run over my scate and my parents did not bought me another one. So it was gone for another 25 years. Now its winter, but you are inspiring me to scate as soon as the weather allows. Thanks man! I am happy to see you skate and be active in your 70s. Hope I will be too!

Absolutely love this inspiring video. Thank you from a fellow older soul skater.

He would fit perfectly into Venice Beach 💜🤟😎 I sometimes miss being a kid in the 70s in LA boarding Whittier Blvd etc.

I love this, how inspiring! What a legend.

His mind and spirit are free!💫

très belles video ! je ne m'en lasse pas de la revoir. Bravo à vous 2

what an amazing human being frank is

I'm 59 and I've never felt more motivated to go ride and progress in kitesurfing and snowboarding than in the past 5 years. That feeling gets stronger over time and I can't stop learning new tricks, so another 10 years? Yeah for sure, and more, as long as my knees support me... Bunch of my fellow kiters are over 50 for sure. I also see this guy windsurfing sometimes where I ride, 80 years old, he told me he just started windsurfing 5 years ago, and still learning. Not such a rare thing actually.

Do what you want to do. It’s your life!

I am 52 years old. I ride a Creature 8.5 twin tip w/ Indy 159's and OJ mini-super juices, more than any other wheel. I dominate the local pump track. There is no other person on board or bike who can ride the thing that fast with that much flow out of anyone who shows up. I still am popping knee high ollies between runs and flips/ curb slappies, and slides w/ a couple kids in the parking lot always watching and trying to do the same with myself between runs on the pump track.. The best part about being a solid older skater is how the kids get off on it. Not in any ego-sense--just instant connection. The one you only feel between fellow skaters. The respect the kids have when they get on your board and can't ride the thing because the trucks are so loose they just say "wtf" and then they hand the board back and see you ride the thing w/ pure flow as solid as a rock on the track or doing street tricks and they realize what time and mileage does for you. My advice is simply to never take fun seriously and I tell them skating is immediate family. Globally, not just locally. A common cause and shared purpose among a tribe of fun focused humans. It will be there for you when nobody else is, no matter how dark. Girls, wives, pets, friends, family, sanity,time... they come and go like wildflower seed in the wind. Keep skating. Deep roots.

When I was in Paris a few years ago, I saw a man late 60’s doing hand stands skating on a skate board in front of a cafe. No one was paying him any attention except us. I got a video recording of him. It was obvious he loved skating.

Im.. 67. And i still skate . I will find you/ in france .. my friend .. I havent skate in france ..since ..1976.. .. Go with the flow.. brother❤. Peace love. Djchristo/ oz. ✅✅✅

Wow I’m 37 I thought I was too old to get back on the board after 18 years. The video has inspired me

With a sidewalk like this I´d skate forever! :-)

The living and breathing Magic! 🙏

46, still shredding,gliding, flying. Never stop riding ❤

How beautiful to see and be 🌊🌞💖

59 year old sk8er for life here! Yes yes and Thank You!

Awesome bro 🤟🤟🤟you are an inspiration,flow brother flow 💖💖🦦🎏☯️

Go Frank! Hope I'm still skating at 70. I'm 48 and hopelessly addicted to skateboarding .

Love this. 52YO skater. La resistance to aging!

Love and Light.

What a beautiful, inspiring story. I am going to give my son's long board a try and research surf-skate boards. We have a beautiful seaside paved path here on Kauai.

I've never skated or surfed but this is exactly the way I feel about playing music! He took the words right out of my mouth, although I can't speak French....... 😁

This guy is a legend. Great style too!!
