Skateboarding was just a downtime activity for a boy at the age of 15, but it eventually turned into a lifelong passion for that boy.
Now, at the age of 23, Timothy Misagal, art major, is sponsored by ET Surf in Hermosa and Westernworld Clothing Company.
By advertising their products when he skateboards and shoots videos for his Instagram account, Misagal receives a fresh board every month and discounts on products from the two companies.
“It feels really rad to have companies stoked (about) my skating; enough to support my hobby,” Misagal said. “Being able to represent a company as old as ET Surf and helping Westernworld expand is amazing.”
Misagal’s passion for skating is driven by the raw fun and rewarding self-accomplishment he gets when speeding down the half-pipe.
“You kind of get lost in your own little world when you’re skating,” Misagal said. “I’ve always found that to be super nice.”
