Known as “Manny Slays All,” Santiago is no stranger to conquering spots from Puerto Rico, Massachusetts, California and around the globe.

“I have always been a fan of Manny, and over the years, we have become great friends. He pushed me to be better, and the fact that we get to be on the same team and shape a brand how we want to is an absolute blessing! I am so pumped to have Manny on Sandlot Times!”
Ryan sheckler, sandlot Times Founder

Manny Santiago’s first Sandlot Times pro model, Solos Taina, was designed by a close friend and fellow Puerto Rican artist Xava Maldonado. The board’s design pays homage to the native Taino people and their Puerto Rican heritage.
