List Of Top 10 Best Female Skateboarders in the World 2025:


1. Mariah Duran:

Mariah Duran, who was born in Albuquerque, is still a strong example of New Mexico skateboarding in 2025. This goofy-footed street skater, who is 28 years old, has become a global celebrity thanks to her gutsy approach to technical tricks and her support for voices that aren't often heard in the sport. At the age of 10, Duran's brothers gave her a skateboard, which led her to compete for the first time at the age of 13. She became a pro with Meow Skateboards in 2016, joining the ranks of greats like Vanessa Torres. She became famous in 2018 after she won two gold medals at the X Games in Minneapolis and Sydney. These wins showed off her famous hardflips and ledge skills.
Duran was a member of Team USA at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where she finished 13th in women's street. She then returned for the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she made it further in the prelims but just missed the final. In 2025, she stood out in Street League Skateboarding (SLS) events, winning a spot on the podium in the Los Angeles stop with a perfect nollie heelflip line that got her a 9.5 from the judges. Adidas and Meow are sponsoring Duran, and her influence goes beyond the board. She is a prominent advocate of women's skate projects and mentors young riders in Native American areas, which is a tribute to her ancestry. Duran has more than 200,000 followers on Instagram. Her bright enthusiasm and steady improvement make her the perfect example of the future wave of street skating. She shows that hard work can turn local dreams into world-class reality.


2. Yndiara Asp:

Yndiara Asp, a 27-year-old Brazilian park star from Florianópolis, rides into 2025 as a shining example of explosive aerial skill and pure happiness. Asp loved skating since she was 7 years old. When she became 15 and started competing, her love for it grew even more. She eventually dropped out of physical education studies at the Federal University of Santa Catarina to pursue her pro goals full-time. Her style is smooth, high-flying, and always inventive. She has been on top teams like Santa Cruz and Vans, where she is known for her huge airs and switch-stance skills.
Asp's first Olympics in Tokyo in 2020 showed how good she might be. She came in eighth in women's park, even though the course was hard. By 2025, she had improved her skills enough to win bronze at the World Skate Park Championships in Rome. Her 94.20 run included a switch heelflip indy grab that blew everyone away. She is also a Red Bull athlete and has starred in well-known videos like Santa Cruz's "Joe Perrin Promo," where her parts mix technical vert with street style. Asp has done well at Vans Park Series events and started a kids skate program in Santa Catarina in 2025 that focuses on making it easier for girls in underserved places to skate. Asp isn't just competing; she's changing the way park skating is seen as a fun sport for a new generation with her contagious smile and skills that push the limits.


3. Didal Margielyn:

In 2025, Margielyn "Margie" Didal, a 26-year-old trailblazer from Cebu City, Philippines, is still a symbol of defiance and victory. Didal was the fourth of five children. His father was a carpenter and his mother was a street vendor. He started skating at the age of 12, and even though the police harassed him, he often practiced in empty lots. In 2018, she became the first Filipino to win a medal at the X Games, and then she won gold in the Asian Games, which started a skateboarding boom in her native country.
Didal's debut in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where she took a viral selfie with Tony Hawk, solidified her legacy. She finished 12th in street. At 26, in 2025, she is at her best, winning gold at the Southeast Asian Games with a triple flip frontside boardslide combo that earned 92.50. With the help of Converse and Red Bull, she has reached more people with the release of the documentary "Beyond the Board" in 2024 and her inclusion as a playable character in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4. Didal's tale has become a movement since she has created skateparks in the Philippines and helps girls who are less fortunate. Didal is the core of Asian skateboarding's growth. She has both street smarts and global fame, and she uses kickflips and 360 flips as weapons.


4. Armanto Lizzie:

As a 32-year-old Finnish-American vert prodigy from Santa Monica, California, Lizzie Armanto is already a living legend in transition skating. Armanto's career took off when she was 14 years old, thanks to her younger brother. She won three World Cup of Skateboarding overall titles in a row from 2010 to 2012. She became an icon after becoming the first woman to complete Tony Hawk's iconic 360-degree loop in 2018. This moment was documented in a viral video that got millions of views.
Armanto came in sixth in the park at Tokyo 2020, where she competed for Finland. Her aerial style stood out in big extensions and flips. In 2025, she had won more than 30 accolades in her career, including a Vans Park Series title. She also made "The Lizzie" shoe with Vans, which is made for women. She has been married to fellow skater Axel Cruysberghs since 2020. She balances family life with professional tours, where she won silver at X Games Ventura with a 540 lien air. Birdhouse and Monster Energy sponsor Armanto's efforts to promote inclusion, which include mentoring programs at Woodward camps. Her backside airs and gutsy drops aren't just tricks; they're powerful statements that make her the queen of vert in 2025.


5. Vitoria Mendonça:

Vitoria Mendonça, a 23-year-old queer Black innovator from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is a new force in street skating in 2025. Every heel flip she does breaks the rules. She practiced on ramps in her neighborhood in Campo Grande when she was seven years old, and then she moved to São Paulo when she was 18. Mendonça turned pro for Element in 2022 after a great "For Us All" performance that included a heel flip to a firecracker at NYC's Canal Fountain. Her strong, stylish lines have been compared to those of legends like Letícia Bufoni.
She won a medal at the SLS Pro Open in 2025 with a switch frontside crooked grind, scoring 88.00. She also starred in Adidas' "Das Americas" Latin tour video. Mendonça is a leader in promoting diversity. She uses her platform to break down barriers by conducting clinics for underprivileged youngsters in Brazil. Her parts in "E.S.P." and "Nature Calls," which were sponsored by Element and Adidas, show off her technical skills, like nollie heelflips over gaps. Mendonça is a Black, queer woman who plays a sport that is mostly male. Her positive attitude and heavy heel arsenal make her a role model, showing how skating can bring people together and boost them up.


6. Lore Bruggeman:

Lore Bruggeman, a 23-year-old Belgian street star from Deerlijk, moves into 2025 with the grace of a pro. Her goofy-footed accuracy is turning eyeballs all over the world. She was the youngest Belgian Olympian when she made her debut at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics at the age of 18. She finished 11th in women's street, which led to her signing with Nike SB as a pro. Bruggeman's early days skating in local parks led to worldwide fame, and he won the Belgian Skateboard Championships several times.
This year, she finished in the top three at OQS Shanghai with an 8.8 score for a backside noseslide to fakie. She also skated London's Natural History Museum in a Red Bull event with other famous people from around the world. Bruggeman's "Day in the Life" series, which is sponsored by Nike and Red Bull, shows how she focuses on her community by training girls under 15 to be more inclusive. Her smooth lines and mental strength—she can get back up after falling on "easy" tricks—are what make her philosophy of skating as flow and connection. Bruggeman's calm command in a chaotic sport makes her Europe's next street sentinel.


7. Nora Vasconcellos:

Nora Vasconcellos, a 33-year-old artist from Pembroke, Massachusetts, is the perfect example of a 2025 skater. She combines physical force with creative expression. She quit her work in 2012 to take a 71-hour train travel to California. In 2017, after winning the Vans Park Series World Championships, she became Adidas's first female pro. In 2018, she got a pro model deck from the Smithsonian for her famous backside airs and inverts. Some of Vasconcellos's best moments in 2025 were getting a Thrasher cover for a fakie 5-0 and being a playable character in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4. Welcome and Spitfire have sponsored her work as a guest editor for Monster Children magazine and as a speaker at the UN on women's empowerment. Her documentary "Nora" (2017) tells the story of her success after she got over her fear. Her creative collaborations with Nixon and Skullcandy mix skateboarding and design. Vasconcellos isn't just skating; she's making art and changing the world with her colorful hair, tattoos, and message: let passion destroy your doubts.


8. Sakura Yosozumi:

In 2025, Sakura Yosozumi, a 23-year-old Japanese park prodigy from Wakayama, is the best at Olympic gold. She started playing at 11 because of her brother, and by 14 she had won the All Japan Ladies Championships. She then dominated the Vans Park Series and X Games, winning medals in 2017 and 2018. Before her historic women's park win at Tokyo 2020, she won gold at the 2018 Asian Games with a score of 60.09 with indy grabs and 540s. In 2025, Yosozumi defended her title in the World Skate Park Championships in Rome, beating Sky Brown by just 0.50 seconds. With help from Powell-Peralta and Red Bull, she trains in a former sake distillery warehouse, where she holds kids' workshops despite her family's financial problems. Forbes named her one of their 30 Under 30 because of her fluid style, which is great for big airs. Yosozumi's name comes from the cherry blossom, which is a symbol of her short but bright impact on Japan's skateboarding youth, turning her own problems into inspiration for others throughout the world.


9. Aldana Bertran:

Aldana Bertran, a 24-year-old street dynamo from Buenos Aires, is Latin America's tough ambassador through 2025. Her Mar del Plata roots give her the strength to attack cities. She started skating in Argentina's skate cradle more than ten years ago. With sponsorships from Nike SB and Santa Cruz, she won "Outstanding Skater of the Year" from Girls Invasion. Bertran's technical ledge work and rail slides have wowed audiences all over the world. This year, she won a medal at SLS Latin America with a lipslide over 10 stairs that earned her 87.00 points. She also demolished London's Natural History Museum with Red Bull, along with Bufoni and Didal.
Bertrán's journeys, from Buenos Aires bowls to tours throughout the world, show how strong she is in a scene where there are a lot of men. Her parts in local videos, such those by Federico Gonzalez, show off her ability to adjust stances. Red Bull and Nike sponsor her. Bertrán is a bridge for South American skating because of her modest intensity and pride in her culture. This shows that talent knows no borders.


10. Letícia Bufon:

Letícia Bufoni, a 32-year-old Brazilian-American street hero from São Paulo, is the most awarded woman in skateboarding history. Her legacy shows that she had an unbreakable resolve. Bufoni started pro at a young age, despite her father's displeasure of her breaking boards. In 2015, she became Nike SB's first female sig. She has six X Games golds (the most ever for women), the SLS Super Crown in 2015, and four straight World Cup #1 positions (2010–2013).
She set Guinness World Records, including the highest airplane grind (9,022 ft) in 2023, and she represented Brazil in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (ninth in street). Bufoni's viral antics, like the 2024 mega-ramp drop, keep her in the news in 2025. Her Executive Athlete Ambassador job for World Skate (2017–2022) also gives women a louder voice. She speaks three languages and lives in California. She teaches through her foundation and clinics, and she mixes teqball, surfing, and wakeboarding into her daily life. Bufoni's eagle tattoo and "Blessed" slogan show how she went from being a street kid to a global force that changed the history of women's skateboarding forever.
