About
Skateboarding and surf-skating can be a difficult sport to master, and bumps and bruises are a common occurrence when learning on your own. Learning alongside professionals will help minimize your chance of injury and give you valuable insight on how to approach surf-skating the right way. Taking in person lessons from expert skaters allows you to ask questions and get immediate answers. You will be able to learn so much more in a short amount of time than would be possible using any other training method. This class is great for those that want to get comfortable and confident riding a surf skate.
