We are eighty percenters. Surfers, skaters, snowboarders and anyone who loves a board.
We are a non-profit cultural and sports association promoting surfing and its board-sport variants across Álava, above all among young people: events, meet-ups, clinics, demonstrations and travel talks.
We started in 2018 with one clear idea: to build community in and out of the water.
To keep a surf, skate and board-sports community in Gasteiz with a place of its own to practise, train and spend time together; and to use these sports to pass on consistency, respect and belonging to anyone who needs role models and a safe place.
It makes no difference whether you are five or seventy, twenty years on a board or none at all. There is room here for a surf trip, a session of slappies, a skin-track climb up a mountain and, above all, a very good time.
From 2018 to today
- 2018Founded
A group of surfers and skaters signs the statutes. The first surf and board-sports association in Álava.
- 2019A place of our own
After hours upon hours of work, thousands of screws and no shortage of effort and enthusiasm from members and friends, the doors open in the Uritiasolo estate. First clinics for kids and adults.
- 2020Pause
The world stops. The community holds together over WhatsApp. We come back with a new bouldering wall.
- 2021-2024Community and workshops
Whole groups of close friends come out of the association. We gain floor space with a new fitness area and an open room. We keep running plenty of workshops: sk8, surfskate, camps and a long et cetera.
- 2025Consolidation
Six disciplines, 600 m² of our own and a social impact project under way.
- 2026Relaunch
We are relaunching the association: new membership types, an open calendar, wider junior learning and a place filling up again. It starts over, and this time with more people inside.
Our place
Six hundred square metres under cover on the Uritiasolo estate: bowl, street, bouldering, training room and a common area.
The team
Real people. Real nicknames. Combined years on board, water and snow, and a passion for passing knowledge and values on to others. All of them are part of the association and help out regularly or now and then: if it is good for the community, it stays in the community.
