Malibu author writes skateboarding book

Eighteen-year Malibu resident Kathryn Flynn Galán has watched her now 19-year-old son, Wynn, navigate the waters of childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, all with his skateboard in hand. 

“He met his first skateboard friend when he was 2 1/2, at the Malibu Methodist Church preschool — those guys are still great friends,” Galán said. “Having that love and connection and camaraderie, even when you live in different places and live different lives, was a great part of growing up for him.”
