Nour Merhi

Hi! My name is Nour Merhi. I am 18 years old and was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. I am a skateboarder, as well as a photographer and videographer, with a strong passion for storytelling through images and video.

I started skateboarding at the age of 13 after watching skaters at a local skate spot. Inspired by what I saw, I saved up money, bought my first skateboard, and quickly fell in love with the sport. What began as simple curiosity soon became a central part of my life.

A few years later, I began coaching private skateboarding classes. In June 2025, I started working with Just.Childhood, which has been one of the most fun and rewarding experiences for me. I truly enjoy teaching children and introducing them to the world of skateboarding.

Teaching girls is especially important to me, as female skateboarders are still underrepresented in Lebanon. I am passionate about helping girls feel confident, empowered, and welcomed within the skateboarding community.
