First things first – I hope all you Wayniacs had a great Christmas! A couple of days before Christmas Day this year, a few of Lil Wayne‘s close skateboarding friends gifted him his first-ever signature skateboard for turning pro after 10+ years of him first starting to skate.

While at Paul Rodriguez’s private skate park, Phillip Lopez, Spanish Mike, Torey Pudwill, Keelan Dadd, Emile Murray, Ryan Clarke, Yosef “YoYo” Ratleff, and Satpal Bansal surprised Weezy with the custom skateboard deck that is only available for friends and family only.

Spanish Mike: “10 years in the making for Lil Wayne turning pro. I remember the first time Wayne started skating and seeing how determined he was with it and really reminded me when I first started. Thank you Phil (Wayne Filmer) for bringing this moment to life… we all appreciate you. When you pick up a board and fall in love. I am happy to see my bro turn pro and be apart of the process. Once a skater always a skater!!!”

You can check out a recap of how it all went down in the video that was captured by Spanish Mike after the jump below, as well as view some photos from the session and a close up of the board that has an old picture of Tune and his lyrics on it. Torey also shows off his Young Money tattoo!

Blink-182 recently paid a visit to the Kevin & Bean morning show on KROQ-FM for an interview to promote their upcoming Halloween tour.

During their conversation at the 5:00 mark, the rock band was asked how much of a nightmare it was to tour with Lil Wayne before they made it clear that it was not a nightmare, as well as that Wayne is “awesome”, “solid” and “such a professional”.

Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker and Matt Skiba even revealed that Tunechi only walked off stage in Virginia because he felt like the crowd did not like him and were only there to see 182, and so he wanted to give them what they wanted. They also mentioned that Tune missed out on the Missouri show, because the cops were trying to catch him for smoking weed and so he left the city to protect himself and his freedom!
