P-ROD'S BIO
I'm sure you've heard the name Paul Rodriguez . The 20-year-old Paul shares his name with his father, a famous comedian and TV star. But, Paul is just as well known in skateboarding, as his father is in his profession. He goes by the name Paul Rodriguez without the "Jr." and is also referred to by the nickname "P-Rod" which was given to him by his older cousin.
 
Rodriguez excels in the genre of street skating, which uses environmental objects such as stair rails, curbs and benches as launching pads for tricks. He is also well respected for his technical mastery on a skateboard. Paul has been called "one of those few skaters who were born to skate."
 
P-Rod is so highly regarded as an athlete that he is the face of Plan B Skateboards and one of only five people in the world with a shoe names after him by Nike. In 2005, released its first signature model skateboard shoe, the Zoom Air Paul Rodriguez. And Rodriguez has the distinction of being the only Hispanic to receive a pro model show with Nike, as well as the first skateboarder to receive this honor.
 
Paul loves spending his time skating with his friends at his favorite spots. For having success at such a young age, Paul remains very focused and grounded.
