Beginner Longboard Courses

Structured beginner courses for adults in Bristol.
No experience needed.

All equipment included.
Small supportive groups.

​If you’ve ever wanted to try longboarding, skateboarding or surfskating but ended up lost in YouTube tutorials, confused by skate slang, or wobbling around a car park wondering what you’re doing wrong (we’ve been there too), this six-week beginner course is your fresh start.

 

Whether you’re completely new to skating, haven’t stepped on a board since school, feel left out watching your kids or friends in the skate park, or simply want to learn something new, we’ll guide you from those first uncertain pushes to cruising with calm confidence.

 

We find that adults have forgotten how to play and reconnect with their inner child! Over six weeks, we’ll take you from your first push to cruising with control, while giving you a taste of different styles including dance and freestyle, pump track and surfskate. You’ll learn with the same small crew, with plenty of support, laughter and shared wins along the way.

All boards, helmets and pads are included so you can just turn up and focus on finding your style and seeing which kind of skating lights you up before you buy your own setup.

 

Led by experienced and patient skaters, our sessions blend mindful movement, play and connection.

Sample 6-Week Journey

This course gives you a taste of several longboard disciplines while building the foundations that connect them all. The journey below is a typical progression, but we’ll shape it around the group, season and conditions. You can also explore the Progression Tree for more detail.

Because we skate in public outdoor spaces, course times and locations are shaped around daylight, weather and how busy each spot is. Your planned locations will be emailed around a week before the course begins. We’ll also keep you updated in the course WhatsApp group if the skate weather gods have other ideas.
