from Terrible. Happy Hosted by Shan
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with Andy MacKenzie, the former owner of Kwala Distribution - a key player in shaping the scene throughout the golden era of 90s Australian skateboarding. We talk about the early days of Kwala, the brands it supported, the tours it facilitated, and how it helped feed the culture, both locally and internationally. Andy opens up about the challenges of running an independent distro, what the skate industry looked like behind the curtain, and what brought about the company's eventual demise. It’s a raw, honest convo about passion, loss, resilience, and how our experiences in this life can shape our perspective for the better... if we choose so.
