Shaun has been riding boards since he was four years old, first a boogie board in the California surf, then a skateboard on his brother's ramp in the backyard, and finally a snowboard. He was so talented that, at seven years old, his parents entered him in his first amateur snowboarding contest, which he won. At thirteen he turned pro. Snowboarding was just the tip of the iceberg for this talented athlete. He soon also went pro in skateboarding and earned the nickname "The Flying Tomato," from his mentor, skateboarder Tony Hawk.
