Paolo first stepped on a longboard in May 2008 and hasn't gotten off since, despite the (more than) occasional faceplants, bruises, and injuries. He particularly enjoys cruising and carving, but sporadically dabbles in the downhill race scene. Paolo is also the owner and operator of Longboards Manila, an online longboard retail store.
