Our good friend Mazur over at Focus Skate Mag sent us over a photo of Shawn that wasn’t up to his “Lighting” standards. Regardless it’s still a sick photo.

Recently Lakai launched their brand new site, and I must say it’s looking good. To go along with their new site launch, Lakai is debuting their clothing line as well for summer/fall. Lakai is still killing it and has once again proven why it’s one of the top skate brands with it’s release of this great looking line of tees, hats, sweatshirts, accessories and even a limited Ogio x Lakai Collabo backpack.

Where are you living?
I live in Newbury Park… pretty much in the middle of nowhere!
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Agoura. It’s about 10min north of the valley. I started skating there, then moved to N.P. when I was 16.
What do you miss about your hometown? What don’t you miss?
Well if were talking about Agoura… I don’t miss anything. That place sucks! Newbury has it’s ups and downs. It’s cool because all my friends live out
here, but other then that it’s pretty standard.
Favorite place to get away from it all?
I’m still looking for that place!
Do you do any other sports?
Surf and Snowboard… I’m going for the XXX award this year at the Xgames!
What kind of kid were you in school?
I was actually a pretty good kid. I never really got into trouble in school. I just wanted to skate. I was a total skate rat. It was a little different back then though because skating wasn’t really popular yet. So I wasn’t cool in high school and I didn’t really have a ton of friends. We were kind of just outcast. We just didn’t get a shit about anything but skating!
What’s your typical day like?
My day is pretty much the same everyday. I wake up around 11am, meet up with some people and go skate. I usually get home around 10pm and just chill.
How many airports have you been to in the last 3 months?
Jeeze… maybe 15!
What’s your favorite part about traveling?
My favorite part about traveling is skating new spots. I seriously base everything off of skating. If there’s nothing to skate in that city then I write that city off. I get soo burnt out on skating the same spots every single day, so it’s so nice going to skate new spots.
