It can be super intimidating starting a new sport, especially one that has a gender stereotype around it. That's why the crew behind Surely Skate wanted to create a safe and friendly environment where skaters can feel supported and not fear that they will be judged when learning how to skate.

They run a number of classes and events including these Wednesday classes at the Havelock North Skatepark - check out their feed for more info about some of the awesome things they do

Our Wednesday classes are filling up quick with only 1 or 2 spots left in each class until the end of the year! 🙌 Bookings are essential for these classes so pleeaassseee make sure you book prior to secure your spot 🩷 surelyskate.com/classes

Thanks again to for helping fund these free classes for the girls of Hawkes Bay! Should we start up some other classes in the new year? 😎
