Cata Díaz

Cata Díaz left Chile at 18 with a three-month visa and never went back. She's been building a life city by city ever since — Barcelona, London, Los Angeles, Miami, and now New York. She talks about finding skateboarding through a skate shop job at 16, surviving cancer at 22, and what it took to get back on a board after chemotherapy. Plus: astrology and tarot as a practice versus as a superstition, and all the emotions in between.   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Elisa Martini

Born and raised in Queens, Elisa Martini is holding it down at NYU while spending every spare minute chasing clips and hunting for spots. We talk about growing up first-generation Albanian, balancing school and skating, and why the love of skateboarding has very little to do with a name on a board. Let's go Knicks. Plus, it's back tail summer. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
