Alann Herrera is a low-key genius with return tops, a hell of photographer, and a solid dude to just hang out with. While some people struggle to reach the top of the competitive game, Alann focuses on playing for the sheer joy of creating and smoothing out tricks that look and feel good.
If you spot him at a contest, you're most likely to find him sipping a cold orange cream soda at the side of the stage, camera in hand, snapping the photos that will frame your memories of the day. We love this dude, and we love giving him a greater platform for his smooth tricks, dry humor, and gorgeous photography.
Welcome to the family, Hotpocket!
