If you are late to this lesson, we cannot extend this to make up for the lost time. Please give yourself plenty of time to arrive and find parking.
Skateboard equipment is included in the price, you are welcome to use your own. Please make sure it is a traditional street skateboard, no longboards or penny boards allowed.
Due to agreement with the council, we are running a group for 6 students, this is reflected in the price.

Lessons will reset the start of each week for the up and coming Sunday.
Please read our frequently asked questions before emailing us.
Weekend Availbility
Our weekend availability can be found on our website here
We currently run a priority follow up system. This means if you are a current student with a lesson booked for example on Saturday at 10am, once your lesson is complete you can book the following Saturday at 10am before the slot becomes available for the public.
If you do not request a follow up lesson for the same time slot by the end of the day your lesson was ran, it will then be placed on our website on the next Monday.
We understand this means there is less availability for new lessons. We are looking to move into group lessons to accommodate the increased interest.
Where are lessons ran?
We run lessons within Kingsfield skatepark, please read our skatepark page to find out all information on times, ages, parking, rules and the membership card for the skatepark.

Cancellations
Depending on the condition we have different cancellation rules.
Weather related:
If the weather impacts the lesson we will try postpone your lesson if we have availability after your slot, or reschedule you to another date.
If you are in a lesson and it rains, depending on how much of a lesson that has been completed you may have a discount towards another lesson. If enough of the lesson has been completed, this unfortunately means no rescheduled/discount.
More information can be found on our terms page
If you are refused entry to the skatepark for lack of a membership card, we do not refund or reschedule in this circumstance. We have all the information of how to get your card on our skatepark page. You can purchase a card at the gate, but this delay to the start of your lesson is not reimbursed.
Late arrival to lessons:
We run our weekend lessons on a time schedule as we have a lot of demand. If you’re late to a lesson, we cannot extend your lesson to make up for lost time. If the instructor is late, we will then extend to cover your full hour. This includes a quick break if the instructor has requested it.
Please leave earlier than what Google Maps suggests, as the area around the skatepark can become busy with traffic and parking is limited.
No show:
We have a 48 hour cancellation period for our lessons. This gives us enough time to fill in that slot with someone else.
If we are not given a heads up for cancellation, your lesson will be charged at the full rate. We do apologies in advance if this happens to you.
On rare occasions lessons will be cancelled from our side. We will give you a heads up notice, this may be due to an injury or the instructor being unwell.
The instructor
We currently have one instructor running lessons within Kingsfield skatepark. We have supporting instructors for our school events.
You will find Coach Dell being the instructor for your lesson.
Skate shop
We do sell a host of skateboard related equipment. Please ask our instructor what we have on offer.

Surf Skate and Long boarding?
We have helped students ride long boards and surfskates.

We do not have any longboards to lend out at this stage.
