Surf Training Using Surfskates

"If there is no surf or the weather is bad our surf-skate classes will be the perfect backup plan!"

Surf-skating for women has taken off around the world and are the perfect way to train for surfing when there are no waves.

Our Slide Surf-skates have a special designed front truck that rotates, which allows the skateboard to move and respond just like a surfboard.

Slide Surfskates are being used by top surf schools in Australia and now at Wellington Surf Lessons to help students progress more effectively.

Surf skate training is a great way to improve your surfing techniques. You can practise manoeuvres over and over again and build up muscle memory during this process. Back in the water everything will click and slide in position.
