Surfskating on the warehouse ramp
01 — Surfskate

Surfing on dry land,midweek.

The board that teaches you to pump on dry land: the bridge between skating during the week and paddling out at the weekend.

What we do

A surfskate is not a skateboard under another name. The front truck turns much more and the board moves with your shoulders and hips: you pump to pick up speed, turn with your body and draw lines like on a wave.

That is why it is the best training between trips. From Vitoria the sea is an hour away, and there are not always waves when there is time; surfskate can be done any evening, under cover, and the movement you work on here is the same one you take into the water at the weekend.

And as with everything we do, what matters is the people: you come to train and end up staying to plan the next trip to the coast.

Who it is for

For people who surf and want to keep training the movement between trips, and for people who have never stood on a board and would rather start with something more forgiving than a skateboard. A surfskate turns a lot, moves with your body and does not ask you to know how to skate.

What you need

We provide

  • A surfskate for your trial session if you do not have one.
  • Helmet and pads.
  • Bowl and flat area under cover, rain or snow.

You bring

  • Flat-soled trainers.
  • Comfortable clothes you do not mind falling in.
  • Your own board, if you have one.
  • Water.

What it costs

Nothing. Free sessions come with the membership. Clinics and special guided sessions are paid separately, always at member price.

The trial session is free.

Who runs it

Members who surf and have used the surfskate as training for years. There is no coach in free sessions: the best way to learn is from each other; ask, watch and learn with everyone else.
