Pro skateboarder Manny Santiago, better known as Manny Slays All, has been doing exactly that - slaying.
Between hitting the streets, filming clips, and staying active on his YouTube channel, the Puerto Rican skate pro has been keeping busy and staying true to what he loves: skating and connecting with the community.
If you've been following MSA's content lately, you've probably noticed that he's been juggling a lot.
Filming tricks while trying to talk to the camera isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do, and he’s mentioned how tough it can be.
But still, he makes sure his fans get regular updates, skating footage, and a peek into his day-to-day life. Whether it’s a street mission or a laid-back session with the homies, he's out there putting in work.
A while back, we reported that MSA stepped away from Ryan Sheckler’s brand, Sandlot Times.
It was a move that got people talking and now we know why. He’s been cooking up something of his own.
In a recent vlog, MSA shared that his very own board brand is set to drop on May 10, 2025. That’s right! He’s not just riding for himself anymore, he’s doing things his way. No big squad behind it. Just him, calling the shots.
But if you’re trying to get your hands on one of the decks, you better act quick. He said there will be fewer than 80 boards in this first drop, and once they’re gone, that’s it. Limited release, straight from the source.
It’s not lost on MSA how tough the skateboard market is these days.
He talked openly about how a lot of skate shops are sitting on stacks of unsold decks, and he totally understands if some shops choose not to carry his.
There's no bitterness. Just real talk from someone who's been in the game long enough to know how things go.
On top of that, the 39-year-old is bringing in a fresh layer to his content. Manny will be posting Spanish-language vlogs so his Spanish-speaking audience can follow along without missing a beat.
For those who don’t speak Spanish, don’t worry, he’ll be adding captions so everyone can still catch the full story.
Oh, and if you're wondering about contests. Yes, MSA is still out there competing. He announced that he’ll be skating in Street League Skateboarding Miami this May, and you already know he’s going to come through with something fun to watch.
So yeah, it’s a big moment for MSA. Not in a flashy, over-the-top kind of way, but in a steady, self-driven grind that shows he’s doing what he wants, on his own terms.
May 10. Mark it. Follow the socials. You might want to be quick on the refresh button.
