Cindy Whitehead became the first female skateboarder to have a centerfold and two-page feature in a skateboard magazine at age 15, turned pro at 16, and competed in half-pipes and pools. She was inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame in 2016 and has had her skateboard history archived in the Smithsonian Museum of National History Sports Collection.
