About Sk8 the Infinity
Sk8 the Infinity takes place in Okinawa, Japan, and follows a group of skateboarders who compete in an underground competition known as S. When Canadian newcomer Langa Hasegawa moves to Japan, he is quickly befriended by the free-spirited skateboarder/skateboard designer, Reki Kyan.
The two form a close bond when Reki starts to teach Langa (a former snowboarder) the ins and outs of skateboarding, and the joys that come along with the sport.
Here are some of our favorite Langa Hasegawa quotes from Sk8 the Infinity.

“Reki, my love….of skateboarding is because of you.”
“It’s who I skate with that defines my feelings.”
“I wanna skate infinitely with you.”
“Reki, I’m grateful for you.”
“Am I flying or falling?”
“I’ve learned that skating builds bonds that don’t break. It’s not worth having a board unless you have friends at your side.”
“Reki told me about this superhero he used to watch on tv. He said he scared him a little. The reason was because after each episode, he asked ‘what makes you happy?’ At first, I thought Reki was nuts. What’s so scary about that? But now, I think I kinda get it. It’s scary not to know the answer. To have nothing that makes you happy. I’ve been there, but not anymore. I know what makes me happy. I understand true joy.”
