Shogo Kubo, born in Kagoshima City, Japan, was a member of the legendary Z-Boys skateboarding crew. Kubo moved to the United States at a relatively young age without any knowledge of the English language. For his inability to speak English, he was teased and thought of as "slow". When he moved to the United States, he took an interest in surfing. He became friends with Jay Adams after responding to a newspaper ad about a surfboard Adams was selling. Wikipedia
