Lucas Puig

Lucas Puig (born January 31, 1987) is a French professional skateboarder. Puig's skateboarding stance is regular and he is a member of the Cliché Skateboards company team.

Puig, whose ascendants come from Catalonia, grew up in Toulouse, France and commenced skateboarding during his early adolescence.

Puig was under fourteen years of age when he began skateboarding with Cliché Skateboards.

Puig has been sponsored by Cliche for the entirety of his career and, as of December 2012, is an integral member of the brand's team. The company's brand manager, Al Boglio (a former sponsored skateboarder from Australia), has described Puig in the following manner: "Lucas has been with us since ... yeah, for eleven years now. His skateboarding's unique, and we're just stoked that he's, just, kept by Cliche—he loves what we do. We've been lucky enough to have, you know, to have met Lucas and we're lucky enough to have him on board today, umm, and for a few years to go, for sure, you know, he's fucking on fire!" In January 2013, Puig identified the Cliche videos, Bon Apetit and Freedom Fries, as those videos that contain his most significant video parts.

As a Cliche team member, Puig was the first professional skateboarder to film and release a "Pro Spotlight" video part for Transworld Skateboarding magazine's digital platform.

As of January 2013, Puig, together with the rest of the Cliche team, is filming for the Bon Voyage video, which will be filmed and directed by Boris Proust.

Puig was featured in the inaugural full-length Lakai video, Fully Flared, a video part that Puig described as "the biggest part" in January 2013. Puig was part of the shoe brand's French contingency, named "The French Connection", alongside JB Gillet. In 2008, Puig was featured simultaneously performing skateboarding and soccer tricks in a commercial for his signature shoe model that was released in spring 2009.

Puig filmed a promotional video for the release of his first signature shoe model with the adidas brand that documented both him and his skateboard crew undertaking a road trip throughout parts of Europe. In January 2013, Puig publicly revealed a collaborative adidas signature shoe model with Cliche, in recognition of Cliche's fifteen-year anniversary. Puig explained, "I been to Germany, to the big office, and we start to work on this, and they really ask me what I want, what I like to skate ... and they're, like, super good people, you know? ... I was, like, super stoked, you know? It was pretty much the first sample that they give me ... it's good to skate, lasts long; it's a good skate shoe."
