Real Skateboards officially turned Hermann Stene pro over the weekend with a good old fashioned surprise with his friends, family and teammates. His bump to the pro ranks is so well-deserved and we're thrilled to see what this ripper will produce in the years to come as a certified pro. Congrats, Hermann!

Between his board control, trick selection and all that power he possesses, Hermann is one of those skaters who simply has it figured it out. Even his "filler" footage makes the majority of of us envious, but really, he's never putting out anything lousy either way. Even his curb tricks are bangers! 

Safe to say, he's come a long way since this 'Known Associate' part dropped about six years ago (watch below)—although many of these clips have stood the test of time—but even back then, I'd say we all knew he had something special. I highly suggest a revisit either way. This part is so good!

There are a lot of "pro" skaters out there these days, but Hermann is one of the realest to do it right now. Again, this bump to the pro ranks was absolutely deserved. He's been putting in the work and it shows. Head to your local shop and cop one of his debut boards! This is just the beginning. 

Congrats again, Hermann. Keep your foot on the gas! Oh, and when's the pro part drop!?
