Hawk talk takes unlikely turn

I promise to enforce a statute of limitations on Web Summit references. It was only last week, though, so surely you’re not jaded with the coverage just yet. You’re not? Good.

Pushing one’s way through the crowds and the conversations (“No, no, no, we’ll need way, way more than five million for China,”) it was interesting, to note the people there to chat.

Take Tony Hawk, skateboarder supreme. The lanky American was much in evidence on the third day of the Summit, chatting amiably about his own charitable organisation, the Tony Hawk Foundation.
