Daryl Dominguez
Bio
Daryl and fellow Vans rider Jordan Thackeray both joined the team early 2018. To seal the deal we grabbed Daryl and headed up to Jordan’s home county of Essex and set the boys at it. They produced a banging ‘welcome’ clip, and from that moment we knew they were both the perfect fit. Daryl was also an integral member of our ‘Bourbon in Durban’ South Africa trip bringing a plentiful supply of good vibes, great tunes and perfect P-Bombs.
Although Daryl was born, raised and remains firmly rooted in the London scene. He spends as much time as possible outside of our nation’s capital, travelling Europe, hitting all the major events in the summer, then often running away to the hotter climes of Asia or Australia in the winter… He really is a man of the world. Daryl is also the founder of the skate based charity Skate Nepal, which aims to help build skateparks and continue to bring skateboarding to underprivileged youths in Nepal. As well as being one of the nicest, most genuine humans on and off the board, he also boasts the unique talent of never having ever bailed a kickflip!
