Felipe becomes the first Plan B amateur to turn pro in 16 years.
As the tradition states in skateboarding, you're not officially considered professional until you receive a signature board.
Well Felipe Gustavo, welcome to the professional ranks.
On November 21st, his friends, family and sponsors gathered in Hollywood to surprise the Brazilian skateboarder with his first-ever pro model board, officially turning him pro.
Helping congratulate Felipe on his acheivement were his teammates Torey Pudwill, Danny Way, Ryan Sheckler, Pat Duffy, PJ Ladd and Colin McKay who were chomping at the bit to talk about Felipe.
Check out Felipe's new signature decks.
