“Shin is one of the most dependable guys I know.“ – Kiki Kakitani

Originally coming from a surfing background, Shin Sanbongi discovered skateboarding and quickly mastered the art of riding a board as if he were riding waves. As the first Japanese rider to join the team, he marked a milestone with his standout full part in our Japan-based film “Everything is Normal.” He could’ve gone pro in football, but instead, he turned pro on Polar. Now a father of two, living with his family in Chigasaki, Shin’s unique style can still be seen regularly in the line-up on the Japanese coastline, as well as at skate spots around the world.
