Surfskate Snaps & Slides Masterclass

Service Description

Seen someone throw a glorious SKID on their surfskate and thought, HOW did they do that?! Whether you’ve watched it on Instagram or seen it at the skatepark, this is your chance to try it yourself. Join Danielle and Jo Mikulska, aka @carvingthroughlife, for a two-hour masterclass focused entirely on surfskate slides. We’ll split into two smaller groups, giving you plenty of space to practise and more individual help from both of us. Danielle will help you get comfortable with hands-down slides, starting on flat ground before taking the movement onto the ramps. Jo will introduce you to stand-up slides and snaps, helping you understand the rotation, weight shift and timing needed to release the back wheels. Again, you’ll start on the flat before trying them on the ramps. Halfway through, the groups will swap so everyone gets to try both. This is surfskate sliding, not downhill freeride sliding. You don’t need to be able to slide already, but you do need to feel comfortable riding around a skatepark. Before joining, you should already be able to: • push, carve and stop confidently • control your speed • roll down banks • roll into a bowl We’re starting early to give us the best chance of having more of the skatepark to ourselves. Surfskates, helmets and pads are available to hire. Please select what you need when booking. The session is outdoors and weather-dependent. If the skatepark is wet or unsafe, we’ll rearrange the masterclass. If you can’t make the new date, you’ll receive credit to use towards another session.
