About Me

My name is Sokom and I created this brand because of my passion for skating. I want to give back to the community starting with skate wax and sharing my love for skating.

If you were to ask someone to describe me in a few words they would probably say I'm a passionate skater with lots of heart.

I grew up in Long Beach with a beautiful traditional Cambodian family that taught me the value of hard work and the strength of working together. I took these lessons and applied them to creating more unity in the World around me. Whether it be working as a pharmacy technician helping our community for 10+ years or my first love of inline skating for 20+ years.

My passion for this sport and journey has been a blessing. Skating taught me so much about myself. It taught me how to push my limits, face my fears, and overcome adversity. Skating not only saved me from my battles with depression but it gave me hope when I truly needed it.

I'm filled with excitement every time I put on my skates. Nothing compares to the pure joy and feeling of accomplishment I get from every unique skate session. I love sharing my passion and what I learned with others. I make it my priority to continue growing this inline skating sport and adding more members to this amazing community.

Skating has been my anchor along with support from my wife, family, and friends. This skating passion inspired me to create my skate wax. My mission is to share this joy I get from skating with the community. If I were to accomplish this it would truly make me feel like I'm creating the unity and happiness I want to see in the World.
