Lessons and courses

From your first push to surf-skate

Beginner

Discover the first sensations of riding, quickly find your balance and therefore your safety, learn to steer and stop. The instructor teaches you, advises you and helps you become independent in a skatepark or facing the obstacles of the street. Lessons and courses from age 5.

Improver

You can move around and tackle the first obstacles of the street or the skatepark? Come and improve! Your instructor adapts to your style: transition, street, learning tricks and skate culture, analysing your runs to progress.

Surf-skate

The fast-growing discipline: a skateboard to surf the street and discover surfing sensations! The special front truck allows movements similar to surfing: short, easy turns. Improve your surfing by breaking down the movements, or simply ride the tarmac in a different way. From age 5.
