Judi Oyama in the late 70's

Pattie Hoffman in the early  80's

Huge congrats to Judi Oyama and Pattie Hoffman for being inducted into Skateboarding Hall of Fame this year!

I had the pleasure of skating with both of these rad girls back in the day (late 70's / early 80's) - Judi and I were on the pro circuit as Pattie was coming up the ranks. Both of them are total shredders and set the bar high for the progression of women in this sport. It's exciting and a pleasure to see them both inducted this year!

Judi & Pattie join previous SHOF inductees;  Pattie McGee, Peggy Oki, Laura Thornhill, Robin Logan, Ellen ONeal Deason, Wendy Bearer Bull, Laurie Turner Demott, Carabeth Burnside, Elissa Steamer, Cindy Whitehead, Jen O'Brien, Ellen Berryman, Kim Cespedes, & Vicki Vickers.

The ceremony will take place this May in Southern California - more info on place & time to come!

Congrats to all the 2018 inductees (see additional info below)
