Skating the funtrack in the warehouse
01 — Sk8

Bowl and street,indoors.

Endorphins the natural way, for kids and not-so-kids. It is never too late to start safely in a sport with a rough reputation that, done properly, is fun and safe.

What we do

The point is not to compete: it is to gain confidence, learn to fall better, read the transition and enjoy the process. And if you do it as a family, alongside your kids, that process is worth more than any trick.

Skating under cover changes things. Vitoria gets rain, wind and darkness at six in winter; a covered skatepark is the difference between skating three months a year and skating twelve. The bowl, the street area and the ramps are all indoors, so the session does not depend on the forecast.

It will sharpen your coordination and make you progress faster in every other board sport. Balance, reading a transition and handling fear transfer straight across to surfing and snowboarding: it is the same body learning the same thing on a different surface.

We also run camps and clinics for children and adults, with gear and progressions adapted to each level. We aim to have a good time and to pass on a few values along the way: wait your turn, help the person starting out, put away what you took out and look after a place that belongs to everyone.

And there is a part that does not show in the photos: the people. You come to skate and end up staying for what happens afterwards. Half the association’s calendar starts in those conversations.

Who it is for

Anyone who fancies standing on a board, whether they are five or fifty-five. You do not need to know how to skate or to have ever tried: half the people who walk through the door started from zero, and there are areas for every level.

What you need

We provide

  • Gear for the trial session.
  • Bowl, street and ramps under cover, rain or snow.
  • Community.

You bring

  • Trainers and comfortable clothes.
  • Your own gear (skateboard, surfskate…): everyone skates better on their own.
  • Water.
  • Willingness to learn, an open mind and your ego left at home.

What it costs

Nothing. Free sessions come with the membership. Junior learning by level and the camps are paid separately, always at member price.

The trial session is free and you do not need to bring any gear.

Who is there

People from the association with years on a board, parents who teach because they love it and who pass on values. Free sessions have no coach: they have members who have been skating half their lives and who teach because they feel like it.
