Brazilian pro skater Gabriel Fortunato has officially joined King Skateboards, the brand led by Tyshawn Jones. Na-Kel Smith was quick to show his support too, posting up with Fortunato and giving him a proper welcome.
As we previously reported, the 27-year-old had been with Element for 13 years - a solid run by any standard. From his early footage to more recent video parts, he’s built a name for himself through consistency, hard work, and a style that's all his own.
Watching him make the move to King feels like a big step, not just in terms of sponsorship, but also in terms of linking up with skaters who clearly respect what he brings to the table.
Tyshawn Jones’ brand has been steadily building momentum, with a strong vision and a crew that’s all in.
This move might open up a new chapter filled with fresh clips, collaborations, and projects under the King banner. It’s exciting to imagine what they’ll all cook up together.
