SHREDDER OF THE WEEK: Louie Daiguchi

When Louie arrives at the skateparks the older skaters stop and look. And for a reason. He is an absolute pleasure to watch and his bag of tricks is way beyond his age. Speaking of age, he’s only 6 years old and has only skated since he was 5. His progression is insane - and he spreads the best positive energy wherever he goes. This happy, little ripper is shredder of the week!
