Little Lilly Erickson has been making major moves on a skateboard basically her entire life. Look back on Lilly’s Hawaiian lifestyle and how she found her love for skateboarding.

With an incredible frontside stalefish under her feet and top notch support at her back, Lilly’s loving life right now and enjoying the journey of watching things unfold.
