Monica Torres has always been one of our favs. From her early days on BLVD Skateboards to entering the pro ranks via Strangelove, securing a spot on the growing Asics team and every other accomplishment along the way, her story is super inspiring and we hear it all on the latest episode of The Nine Club. Get there:
She talks about some of the earliest people who backed her and how sessions at Biebel’s park ended up shaping not just her skating, but the friendships and opportunities that followed. But one thing I had no idea about was that Monica was literally sweeping floors at The Berrics for a while—putting in work on and off the board while staying locked in on her goals. That’s real!
Monica's calm, straightforward demeanor is something to admire. She's clearly always knew what she wanted and has never been afraid to go for it. She's battled some serious injuries, gnarly family hardships and let's be real—all the ups and downs that simply come with living life all the same. Look at her now! So rad.
She had a productive year, to say the least, and her foot seems to be pressed hard on the gas right now. We love to see it. Keep charging, Monica! And thanks for a stoke-filled episode. Can't wait to see what you hit us with in 2026.
