Based on the description provided, it seems your friend may have sustained a dislocation. The fact that his shoulder looks deformed and he's in significant pain points towards this type of injury. Dislocations commonly occur during activities like skateboarding, where falls and impacts can easily lead to joints being forced out of their normal position. There’s no indication of an open fracture since there’s no bleeding mentioned, and while a sprain or muscle cramp could cause pain, they wouldn’t typically cause visible deformity.
