Chenai Gwandure
Chenai is a unique, incredible person. With his gigantic smile, he sends out rays of positivity and good vibes wherever he goes. As a skateboarder, he flows with so much style and creativity. He’s always having the most fun on his board and whenever you roll with him, you’ll find his attitude to be contagious.
Originally from Zimbabwe, Chenai moved to Joburg as a child, and has spent much of his time in Cape Town. Chenai’s passionate about spreading the good energy of skateboarding through community upliftment projects. He regularly teams with @wandersaroundtheworld, where he helps build skateparks in underprivileged communities, at home and abroad. Through the non-profit organization, @SkateZimbabwe, he collects shoes and skateboards to distribute throughout disadvantaged communities in Zim.
Chenai’s passions and talents are not limited to skateboarding, he’s also an avid film photographer (@chegnar_skiets). You’ll see him around town snapping creative shots when we’re not on he’s not shredding the local curbs. He also works part-time as a lab technician! So safe to say, the man’s productive and busy practically all the time!
A passion for one’s craft, a fiery enthusiasm for life and a positive connection to community… all great values that we hold dear at Jack Black. It’s with great pride that we have Chenai as part of the Jack Black family and we’re excited to support him on his journey forward.
