David Daewon Song (Korean: 송대원; born February 19, 1975) is an Korean-American professional skateboarder. I was really into art when I was a young kid, and I won a lot of awards, so my parents thought that's what I'd pursue. Mullen became a mentor figure to Song and the latter became a team rider for the Tensor company as the result of this relationship (as of July 2014, Song continues to be sponsored by Tensor).
