GET TO KNOW
Nick Garcia
Nick Garcia was born on June 16, 1985 in Long Beach, California. He spent part of his childhood in Arkansas before moving back to California, where a neighbor got him into skating through the film Fulfill the Dream. He worked his way up through the local scene, earning boards from pros before joining Element, where fan votes put his footage tape at #1 in their flow contest. He turned pro for Element in November 2012.
Creative yet technical, Nick's skating spans all terrain with insane trick combinations. Beyond skating, he's a passionate film photographer, traveler, and family man. After a long tenure at Element, he now rides for Welcome Skateboards and Etnies, continuing to redefine what's possible on a board.
