CJ Nelson is a super talented longboarder and has made a living from doing what he loves.

He is ‘living the dream’. CJ doesn’t see it like this. He has battled with substance abuse and has regrets on the way he treated himself and others.

He is now on the path to making amends. Living clean, consciously and inspiring the next generation to do the same.

This is his story.
