OG Skate. Patti McGee.





Patti McGee needs no introduction to most of you. She is an icon in the skateboard world.
Patti paved the way for all of us - because really, how many girls do you think took a chance & skateboarded back in the 1960's?  Not many.

Patti is the first woman to be inducted into the Skateboard Hall of Fame and she is also the only female skater (that I am aware of) to have 2 major magazine covers in one year - Life Magazine & Skateboarder Magazine both in 1965.

But most of all, she is a pretty amazing lady and one I am proud to call a friend. So next time you see her at an event, please make sure to go up and introduce yourself and thank her for her contributions to women's skateboarding.    xx
