Born and raised in Simi Valley, CA, Torey Pudwill started skating at the young age of seven years old. He got his first sponsor, Shortys Skateboards, when he was 12 and made a name for himself three years later in 2005 with a full part in Shorty’s How To Go Pro video. Torey went Pro in 2008 and in 2010 he became one of the few handpicked Pros to join SLS. After dropping his Plan B Big Bang part in 2011 he went on to take his first major contest win at the 2012 Tampa Pro. Torey is consistently a contender at each SLS contest he enters—making him a pro that people expect to see in the Finals. His most successful SLS season to date was in 2014 where he landed in 2nd place at the SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Championship and 3rd overall in the season. Torey was out in 2016 rehabbing a torn meniscus. We’re excited to have him back this year.
