I’m gonna be biased here……
I’ve known Lui since he was about 15 or 16, was someone I skated with about every weekend say 10 years ago. Lui was a super polite kid growing up and always seemed to know which doors to open when it came to the industry, whether it be skating or just LA networking in general. There’s thousands of kids in LA just like him that didn’t use any of their resources when it comes to getting some type of industry job. Skateboarding industry isn’t a goldmine but he’s played his cards a lot better than just milking being in flow purgatory till you’re 30 and having to move out of LA to Lancaster and work construction.
If you want his full story just listen to his bunt episode, he breaks down growing up in Altadena, being a Fairfax kid, meeting HUF etc…..
Fun fact-He lost his virginity to Riley Reid
