About
Our group skateboard lessons are perfect for any beginner. One of skateboarding’s greatest attributes is its community.
By joining our group lessons, you will not only learn the fundamentals of skateboarding at your own pace, but you will be able to progress as a group, meet new friends, learn from each other, and feed off the energy of a group skate session.
All lessons are taught by Will Stephan, the Owner and primary operator of Sapient Skateboards. Will has been skateboarding for over 14 years and has over a decade worth of experience as a sponsored skater and teacher.
All are welcome and we look forward to skating with you!
