7 years old taking on the bowl. So much coaching to go but determination, resilience and an unwillingness to give up. These are the skills children need more of.

Trying something new and feeling achievement is exactly what Surfskates offers. It’s a buzz. Some of you will understand already. Some of you need to come for a play. Release your inner child, get over the “but I might fall feeling” and just give it a go.

Fun night in Fuerteventura 🇪🇸 on a paddle trip with a squad from @glasgowpaddleboardersco

What’s great is that the skills across sports transfer so nicely. Improving your paddle stroke and movement can be enhanced so well from a dry land activity like surf skate. 🛹

🌊🏄‍♂️ Epic First Night of #SurfSkate at Kirkie Baptist Hall! 🛹

We kicked off with an awesome kids’ class from 5-6 PM. The kids all smashed it sharing what they loved and what they want to do next week at the end. Shark, penguin and lazy seal the funniest games ever. So good practising lying down on a board to “swim” but also to understand how the surfskate moves. Kids all standing and loving life throughout.

It was amazing to see everyone improve by just playing on a board inside for one hour. Sole nervous newcomer adults transforming into achieving and able skaters, zooming around by the end. Some getting onto a board and just focusing on weight distribution.🌟

New skills ✅ New achievements ✅ Endless smiles 😊

Try something new, and you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve!

📆 Don’t miss out—get booked in next Tuesday via the website!

From absolutely no experience to rolling around the skatepark on the flats! Super fun night! Super progress too. Can’t wait to get him turning and generating some speed!
