It was too cold for Ken Taylor to windsurf when he arrived back in New Zealand from South Africa so he learnt to ride a skate board to keep his balance. Ken Taylor has been told he needs to grow up, but that hasn’t stopped the 76-year-old pensioner from whizzing around Timaru on his skate board, getting up to speeds of 20 kilometres per hour. The retired builder said skateboarding has replaced his love for windsurfing, as Timaru is too cold for the water sport. JOHN BISSET/Stuff Ken Taylor, of Timaru, is still skateboarding at the age of 76. “It’s too cold in Timaru to windsurf,” Taylor said.
