ABOUT THE DAY...

Ever wanted to learn how to Surf Skate?

Well now's your chance.

Join us for our One-Day Surf Skate Course to go from absolute newbie, to having the skills to tear it up on the streets and at your local skatepark.

You'll be immersed within a group of new skaters all looking to learn the basics and build confidence, all wanting to learn a rad new skill - alongside helping their surfing in the process.

We start things off with the absolute basics, ground zero, and spend our time fine tuning and building up skills, ending with the culmination of the group hitting the skatepark.

You'll develop the skills and balance to generate your own speed on a Surf-Skate, plus build the confidence to take your skating into the lumps, bumps and ramps of the skatepark.

You'll have an awesome experience, learn a tonne and share plenty of laughs along the way - with everything taught in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment.

HIGHLIGHTS

The course is broken up into x4 blocks:

GROUND ZERO

We assume no prior knowledge and start things with the absolute basics.

We cover board control, feet placement, how to stop and start, and more to get you familiar with your equipment, so that you can ride it in a safe, confident way.

GENERATING SPEED

Once the basics are dialled, we move onto speed generation.

You'll learn how to self-generate speed using just your natural body weight, mimicking many of the actions performed in the surf.

CARVING TURNS & CONTROL

Next up we focus on carving turns.

This is where you'll begin to get ultimate control over your equipment, and learn to zig-zag with speed and flow, whilst maintaining control throughout.

SKATEPARK

The last session is where we bring everything together, a culmination of all the skills learned, as we look for their practical implementation in the skatepark.

As a group we'll head to the nearby skatepark to practice what we've learned, and attempt to ride the slopes and pump the tracks to round out the day's staking, developing a new found confidence, something you can take with you for life.

SKILL LEVEL

This course is for you if:

You're completely new to surf skating, or only skated a handful of times.
Looking for a new skill to help improve your surfing.
Want something fun to practice when the surf is flat.

COURSE

The Surf Skate Course has been designed to help people that have never surf-skated before, learn the skills to quickly grasp the sport, and to take away with them an entirely new hobby to help their surfing.

How to carve frontside and backside.
How to maintain speed and drive through turns.
Utilise curves, lumps and bumps to accelerate.
