Chicago’s Chaz Ortiz was discovered at the age of nine by the legendary Harold Hunter. After winning a handful of contests he turned Pro for Zoo York Skateboards when he was 14. In 2010 Chaz became the youngest Pro to join SLS at only 16 years old. Since then, Chaz has been in more finals than most veterans. 2015 was Chaz’s most successful year in SLS, placing in the Top 8 in each stop of the 2015 SLS Nike SB World Tour. In 2016, Chaz placed 7th at the Pro Open in Barcelona, but did not qualify for the 2016 Super Crown World Champi- onship. Chaz missed most of 2017 due to injury, and placed 15th in his hometown of Chicago.
