Willy Monolato Santos (born October 1, 1975) is a Filipino-American professional skateboarder born in Subic Bay, Philippines. He has been skateboarding for 19 years. He currently resides in Poway, California but grew up in Mira Mesa. He attended Ericson Elementary School from kindergarten. He was one of the first children to attend the first year of Challenger Middle School, and graduated from Mira Mesa High School. He owns Tiki Hut Island Grill and his own skateshops, Willy's Workshop (Rancho Penasquitos & formerly in Mira Mesa until the shop closed in 2010). He is related to former teen Filipino skater GALBINO (Arvin Fortunato Lariosa). Willy also organizes community outreach programs, created his own shop team and even assisted the design of the local Rancho Penasquitos skateboard public park.
