Our sessions are all about creating a safe, fun, and supportive space for kids to learn skateboarding at their own pace.
Whether they’re stepping on a board for the first time or already rolling confidently, our coaches meet them where they’re at. No pressure, no egos — just good people, good vibes, and steady progress.

Keeping skating accessible: We offer koha and sponsorship options for families needing financial support, so cost doesn't have to be a barrier to joining the crew. Just get in touch to find out more!
Term 4 sessions are partly funded thanks to support from Eastern & Central Community Trust, Hastings District Council, Jolly Good Chaps Trust and Sport Hawke's Bay, helping keep things accessible for families.
