WORLD SKATE WELCOMES LETICIA BUFONI

The most successful female skateboarder of all time, Letícia is one of the highest-profile skaters in the world.

As someone who has done more than most to change the perception of what women are capable of both within and without skateboarding, Letícia has inspired many young people around the globe to begin skateboarding in the first place. 

Five-time X Games gold medallist, Tokyo Olympian, Guinness Book of World Records- holder, youth mentor; Letícia was a natural choice for appointment to the role by World Skate President Sabatino Aracu.

Leticia’s role as Chair of the International Skateboarding Technical Commission will be both to advise on operational aspects of the World Skateboarding Tour such as contest formats, point allocations and rankings- as well as representing the views and ideas of the five continental Chairpeople who do likewise for their regions. The role carries full voting rights within our Executive Board, of which she becomes a member.

We spoke with Leticia on the advent of her announcement to give everyone a sense of what she will bring to her new role.

As we hand over to her, we would like to take the opportunity on behalf of us all at World Skate and within our global community to welcome Letícia; we are sure she will bring the same verve to the vital role which has characterised her pro career up to now!

As one of skateboarding’s most influential female athletes, what’s your perspective on the evolution of women’s participation in skateboarding and its technical growth, particularly since its inclusion in the Olympics? How has this growth impacted skateboarding’s culture?

Skateboarding has grown a lot, especially for women. When I started, there weren’t many opportunities, but now you see girls everywhere skating at a super high level. The Olympics helped bring more attention to the sport, which means more people are picking up a board and pushing the limits. It’s cool to see how much better everyone is getting and how skateboarding just keeps progressing.

Looking ahead, how do you envision the future of skateboarding?

Skateboarding will keep growing. More skaters, more parks, more events. People are getting better, and tricks are getting crazier. I think we’ll see more new spots, new styles, and just more people having fun with it.

In your view, what has been the most significant impact of Olympic inclusion on the sport’s development and recognition?

The Olympics put skateboarding on a bigger stage. It got more kids into it, brought in new sponsors, and gave skaters from different places more chances to compete. It also showed people that skateboarding is more than just a sport—it’s a way of life.

You’ve been breaking barriers in skateboarding for years. What advice would you give to young girls who dream of following in your footsteps, especially in countries where female skateboarding is still emerging?

Just go for it. Skate as much as you can, don’t listen to people who say you can’t, and have fun. If you love it and put in the time, you’ll get better. Find people to skate with, post your clips, and keep pushing yourself.

As the new Chair of World Skate’s International Skateboarding Technical Commission, what are your main objectives and goals for the next four years with the World Skateboarding Tour up to LA28?

I want to help grow skateboarding everywhere. More events, more places to skate, and more kids getting into it. I also want to make contests better for the skaters and fans. The goal is to keep skateboarding fun and help it keep progressing leading up to LA28.
