Tate Carew

Let’s just start by saying that Tate Carew turned pro for Birdhouse in 2024 when Tony Hawk and Mark Gonzales surprised him with his first signature pro deck while he was in Paris skating in the Olympics for Team USA. That is some legendary shit, right there. Tate is a second generation skater, meaning his father, Dave, grew up skating at Upland Skatepark (a skateboarding proving grounds, if there ever was one). Tate, though, grew up skating at the Mission Valley Krause Family YMCA Skatepark. Less known for their lore, but now being recognized for their Olympic-level alumni.  Tate is the kind of transition skater that can do it all: park, pool and vert. He also plays a little guitar and harmonica. What can’t he do?
