Daniel Shimizu

As skateboarding progresses and gets more difficult, it is easy to forget that it’s all for fun. Daniel Shimizu is one of those skaters that is a constant reminder of that little fact. Blessed with an effortless, loose style, Daniel makes amazing skateboarding look like an easygoing part of his daily routine. For a guy who could be credited as bringing hurricane grinds down rails to a whole new level, Daniel has never been stagnant by simply opting for the same trick on a bigger spot. Instead, he continues to switch up his approach with every part, leaving a smile on the face of anyone who can appreciate great style.
