Lola Tambling started skateboarding aged 7 in Saltash, Cornwall when her parents held a skate jam at the Junkyard skatepark and she was instantly hooked. As a fashion enthusiast, she has expressed interest in taking her skateboarding career in that direction over time. Although the stealth arrival of Japan's Hinano Kusaki has been the most impressive in pure ability terms, Lola Tambling's presence in the finals of a World Championship is the stuff that they write West-End musicals about. It was only in April of 2022 that she surprised everyone including herself by becoming the inaugural UK Champ and in one of the great underdog stories of recent skateboarding lore, she came a staggering 6th in the world at the WST 2022 World Championships.
