Arisa Trew (born 5 April 2010[1]) is an Australian skateboarder who is currently ranked 14th in the world. She aims to secure a spot at the 2024 Olympic Games scheduled to take place in Paris, France.[2]
Trew was born in Cairns, Australia, to a Japanese mother, Aiko.[3][4][5] She started skateboarding at the age of 7.[5][6]
On 23 June 2023, during Tony Hawk's Vert Alert event held in Salt Lake City,[7] Arisa became the first female skateboarder to successfully execute a 720 trick in a competition; the trick involves completing two full rotations in mid-air.[8] That trick was made famous by professional skateboarder Tony Hawk, who first performed it in 1985.[9]
In April 2024, Trew received the Laureus World Sports Award for Action Sportsperson of the Year at the Laureus World Sports Awards.[10]
On May 29th, 2024, Trew became the first female skateboarder to land a 900, which she did in a half-pipe.[11][12]
