Jaime Reyes is a goofy-footed American skateboarder from Hawaii and a pioneer of women's street skating. As of 2020 she is one of only three women to appear on the cover of Thrasher Magazine, and she has been inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame. Growing up in Hawaii in the early 1990s she was an avid surfer, and at thirteen she skipped class to surf, found no waves and wandered into a group of skateboarders, befriended them and rode a skateboard for the first time that day. Her first competition was hosted by the Real skateboard team at A'Ala Park, where she was the only girl and won first place in her age group, after which Real began flowing her boards.
