After a sudden and severe onset of Guillain-Barré syndrome left him paralysed, UK skater Nick Harding faced a future he never imagined—unable to walk, skate, or work.
But instead of letting the illness define him, he began shaping a new purpose from the very boards he once rode.
With no carpentry experience, Nick started transforming broken skateboards into vibrant, swirling sculptures—each piece a reflection of hope, healing, and resilience.
His creations, now sold under the name Mobius Maples, have reached people around the world and become symbols of transformation.
With the support of the skate community and a spirit that refused to give up, Nick not only rebuilt his strength—he found a powerful way to give back.
This inspiring story is a moving reminder that even when life breaks apart, beauty can still be made from the pieces.
Discover how art, passion, and community helped Nick reclaim his path forward.
