Axl had a stall in Mor Mors courtyard during the festival, selling his homemade lemonade and very successful it proved to be.
He was delighted to be able to donate $472.40 made up of half his profits from the stall and donations to the tip jar, to South Coast Skate Park Association president Peter O'Keefe.
Axl and his friends are skate borders and are keen to see a new park built in Merimbula.
Mr O'Keefe said he was waiting on council to have a workshop with councillors and then to bring the issue of skatepark location back to council for decision. He is hoping that decision will be Ford Park.
In the meantime he said there had been a design completed for the Eden skatepark, which is a fully funded project. Mr O'Keefe is hoping that construction of the Barclay St, Eden project will start by the end of the year.
