Kabul skate girls

It is very encouraging that there are around six girls that turn up regularly to the dish sessions to skate. The first female skaters do things a little differently than the boys preferring to pivot off the nose instead of the tail and skating in high heels rather than sandals. While all the boys are waiting patiently or impatiently for a turn on the remaining 8 boards, the girls happily share their skateboard between themselves and unsurprisingly they don’t let any boys near their prized skateboard. Contrary to other media reporting girl power is alive and well in Kabul.
