Tom is a fully accredited Skateboard Coach with Skateboard GB and through Yonder we are offering skateboard and surfskate coaching sessions for absolute beginners up to more advanced skaters.
We introduced skateboarding to our Yonder Surf Camps in 2021 and have had amazing results so far.
Skateboarding, as a land-based activity closely linked to surfing, is really fun in itself. It also shares so many similarities with surfing; particularly in the way we move our bodies and our boards. It is a really effective way to refine our foot positioning and stance, to gain confidence, learn to relax our bodies and begin to understand and develop muscle memory for manoeuvres we use in surfing. Our approach is to encourage relaxed, flowing manoeuvres, introducing transitions to replicate the feeling and principles of surfing waves.
We will start from the very beginning, in small groups of four people to begin with, on flat or at a quiet skatepark, no experience or equipment is necessary at all.
All equipment is provided including helmets, pads and various skateboards & surfskates. You are welcome to bring your own.
