Learn to Skate at Peregian: One-Hour Beginner Lessons with Chiggy's

Q: Are refunds or class transfers available?

Class transfers and refunds are not available; if a coach cancels, Chiggy's will schedule a make-up lesson and notify the booking contact.

On the sun-bright coast of Queensland, Peregian Beach sits a short drive north of Sunshine Coast hubs; here Chiggy's Skateboarding runs 'Peregian at Beginners!', a one-hour lesson for first-time riders and those shaking off the rust. The meeting point is Chiggy's Indoor Skate Parkt at Kingfisher Dr, Peregian Beach QLD 4573, Australia, and bookings use the booking reference provided at [email protected].

In one concise hour coaches introduce board basics: stance, push, pumping, and safe falling techniques. The session balances coaching and time on small ramps and flat surfaces; classes cap at nine students to keep attention hands-on. Chiggy's supplies free hire boards and helmets when requested — email with your booking reference — and includes a Chiggy's Skateboarding shirt with term-long spots. Lessons move indoors to Coolum in wet weather, so rain rarely cancels progress.

What makes this program stand out in the Sunshine Coast scene is its mix of indoor reliability and beach-town culture. Peregian's low-rise streets, grassy parkland and nearby surf create a relaxed training ground where local kids and visiting families mix, and Chiggy's emphasis on safety and progressive skill-building keeps new riders returning. The lesson is ideal for complete beginners, nervous adults, and kids old enough to follow instruction; coaches focus on confidence-building drills so the first drops in speed feel controlled rather than scary.

Expect practical, usable takeaways: how to push and cruise without wobble, how to ride small transitions, setting up your board, and basic maintenance. If you plan to continue, the membership discounts on retail gear and no-charge hires on session days make progressing affordable. Note class transfers and refunds aren't available; if a coach cancels, Chiggy's will schedule a make-up session and notify the booking contact by SMS or email.

Nearby, Peregian Beach offers easy post-lesson hangs — grab coffee, walk the beach, or practice flatland maneuvers on wide promenades. For parents, the term-long spot model suits regular scheduling; for visitors, single sessions are a compact way to try skateboarding where local culture is low-key and encouraging. Whether learning regular or goofy, the one-hour format keeps goals small and measurable: stand solid, push comfortably, and leave with a plan for the next session. Chiggy's blends practical coaching, free equipment hire, and a community-minded approach that makes Peregian a dependable place to start skateboarding.

Classes are capped at a maximum nine participants to ensure individualized feedback, and the meeting point at Chiggy's Indoor Skate Parkt puts ramps and sheltered practice within steps of Kingfisher Dr car parking. Members receive 20% off retail, and a range of helmets, protective gear, and boards are available to purchase at the park. Bring water and closed shoes; lessons require a helmet and encourage wrist guards for beginners.
