Out There: Austin Kanfoush

Kanfoush lives more in a day than most do in a year-surfing, skating, building parks and takin’ care of the kids. Clock in.

Pittsburgh is super lucky to have a guy like this repping the city. Only spent 4 years there, but I’ll never lose the admiration for my friends who make it work out there. Love this man!

[@jaredhonusankrom]

yinz got some Primantis leftover for the Steelers game?

[@philipgeiser7254]

Love Pittsburgh Austin is one of my inspirations this city has such a good skate culture I couldn’t be luckier to live here

[@praktiz7490]

rad dad, won't be surprised if his kids follow his footsteps and pursue surfing and skating, thank you thrasher for these out there videos,

[@leviathanbathory6903]

Sick as fuck. I worked in the oil industry fresh out of high school and eventually became a welder. After 15 years still skating and hella work

[@MRACTION64]

damn that gap at the end is gnarly

[@suckfest8573]

I miss watching him skate in person when we used to be friends. Skates faster than most. Always a fun time to see it happen.

[@Mordorer]

We’ve all had a case of the “I have to’”

[@PaperPlanePilot210]

This is true

[@willwrk4gunz]

This hits home for me 3 young kids been skateboarding for almost 20 years. I'm 32 now.

[@Bojonni]

dude knows how to enjoy every moment something most people lack

[@bigdrefromthebay6475]

Best dude. It’s rare to get a Austin sighting in SF, but when you do it’s a good time

[@shampou8069]

This guys voice is so calming

[@PaperPlanePilot210]

Wow. What a beautiful video. Need more content like this Thrasher. Respect to Austin! Hopefully one day pro skaters get paid what they deserve.

[@marksantosLbC]

This guy lives life to the fullest.

[@sonnyzadeh]

Thank you so much for this piece. Learning about Austin in Thrasher an seeing his parts are a big reason I started skating again.

[@ericdetablan7041]

what an outstanding human thx for being who you are🔥💯

[@thechipvids]

“Works good, man. You should all go get jobs, plenty of funny stories and great memories”

[@jansenhorrocks]

Austin seems so cool! Like his attitude. Love how he’s promoting people to get out and work!!!

[@blasegg2396]

Best one yet!

[@JeremyMayDDS]

He’s so right about difficulty adjusting to kids. First year is brutal. Gets a lot easier once they are 18 mo-2yr

[@Bb186fo]

I can say personally from growing up skating pittsburgh, of all the people who could have made a career of skating (skill wise) im glad it was austin! The times we skated with him he was always personable, always remembered your name, and just had great vibes! Some the other dudes who hung around him had bad attitudes, were cocky, wouldnt even look your direction unless you were a pro to suck up to, or frequented the shop they all rode for. Most of them fell off which is fine cause they didnt have the people skills to make a career last anyways. Survival of the fittest came out right with austin, perfect ambassador for reppin Pittsburgh, evan smith as well! Also a great dude.

[@j.r.z5605]

Love Austin!! Such a hard worker. Total throwback.

[@patrickdenis909]

i enjoyed this video a whole lot.. what an awesome father, skater, surfer, and hard worker all for the love of LIFE and family.. god bless!!

[@ItsSeaOtter]

What a good guy. Glad hes doin good

[@rzadigi]

He’s a rad dude I’ve never heard of on my favorite company. Plus he has a real job, supports a family, surfs and shapes his own boards. Positive attitude and an inspiration. What’s not to like?! He’s killing it!!

[@genetix191]

Damn bro that was a rad story keep it up! there are a lot of dads getting back into skating and you are a real inspiration.

[@juiceman7649]

Austin you have the best shaped board I love it the 8.55 x 31.6 I hope Antihero never stops making them

[@cinemasnitch3959]

homie got the real work ethic. respect.

[@BabyRaphy87]

I met him on the trip he took to Asheville, NC. Amazing skater and an overall good human. Very humble. Destroys skateboarding. Instantly was a fan. I witnessed him do a flawless kickflip over a driveway gap. Glad to see him thriving and prospering. Him and Jake.

[@askaterx123]

A pittsburgh legend was so dope to see him skate as a kid n now see him pro🤘

[@Iamsadcowdisease]

1st saw this dude in an old gx1000 video, and now this. He is the man, such an inspiring person 💯

[@nickaguri]

Saw his name in an old cyrus bennet interview and here I am, such a down to earth guy, im a fan already

[@miguelvielma895]

Before this, Austin 180s motivated me. Now seeing how he just works and goes all day, motivated me!

[@kaleidoscopex7213]

KANFOUSH. that one kickflip into the drain @ SF Hilltop is gnar. he’s been my fav, very humble

[@scottc2276]

Move to New Zealand we have a huge housing shortage and no covid. Perhaps may harm the pro skating but definitely make a ton of money building/ being a a foreman. Inspirational dude.

[@edwardlee9845]

I’m glad ur allowed to surf and skate without fopaws being tossed as you. My generation was late to the fun lifestyle vs being to cool to branch out. This guy is awesome. Support the real. Not the cool flavors of the month. I was always confused why this didn’t happen outside of so cal n Santa Cruz. Hey skateboarding ur whole industry was started by surfers and financially backed by them too.

[@wileyfilms]
