Shaun has been riding boards since he was four years old, first a boogie board in the California surf, then a skateboard on his brother''s ramp in the backyard, and finally a snowboard. He was so talented that, at seven years old, his parents entered him in his first amateur snowboarding contest, which he won. At thirteen he turned pro.
