LA Skateboarding Examiner | Bio
Find out more about Luiz:

Like other fellow Brazilian skaters living in SoCal these days, before coming to US, Luiz paid his dues in his home country. After publishing his own fanzine, he got hired by local Yeah! magazine as a photographer and writer. A year later, he got picked up by Skatin’ and soon became its award winning editor. In the early 90’s, after getting published on Thrasher, Luiz set home in L.A. and began covering the local scene for Brazilian publications such as Tribo, SKT, Veja, and Folha de São Paulo. With degrees in Communications and Photojournalism, Luiz blends insight and ingenuity in his reporting, while remaining true to his skateboarding roots. He welcomes comments and suggestions, and those may be sent via e-mail.
