After being in flow limbo, Tommy Fynn has found a home on Stereo.

"When difficult flip tricks started to go down in the early to mid 90's, consistency was a major issue. And when they got applied to grind or slide tricks, the attempt to land ratio was even more grim. It was just flick your board toward the curb or ledge and hope for the best. Fast forward a couple decades to today, and thankfully we have skaters at the skill level of Tommy Fynn. Not only does he do really difficult tricks, he does them really really well, he does them with great style, and he does them with a level of consistency unmatched by previous generations. I am really proud to welcome Tommy Fynn to the Stereo skateboards family today. The future's in good hands" - Chris Pastras
