SKOACHING WITH AUNTY SKATES
Hi! I'm Aunty Skates and the only thing I love as much as skateboarding is teaching other adults how to skateboard. I didn't learn how to skate as a kid, I learned as a middle aged mom who still needs to cook dinner and go to work the next day. Essentially, I can't afford to get hurt! I know all the fears and I know that it takes a bunch of small little steps and warm-ups in order to achieve those big goals. I also know how incredibly challenging it is to get on a skateboard as a grown woman. Believe me, I know!
And that's how I teach. I break things down into small steps that are obtainable and easy to understand. I work through the fears with you because I can relate. I watch to make sure your feet are in the right place and you're turning your shoulders at the right time. I create a safe, judgement free space so my students can worry about learning their tricks and not about how they look. I celebrate EVERY. SINGLE. WIN. No matter how seemingly small. Because it's a big freaking deal! And most of all, I make sure everyone is having fun.
THe
SKatepark
A brand-new state of the art skatepark designed by NewLine Skateparks, the Nosara skatepark is minutes away from Norte Nosara, surrounded by palm trees, and the sounds of the jungle.
There is a beginner area to practice pushing. tictacs, ollies, going up and down banks, and low drop-ins. There is also a flowy bowl with an easy roll-in and various drop-ins from 3' to 7'. Great for learning how to catch and keep speed, pumping, carving frontside and backside, popping out, and feeling like you are flying!
IT'S FREAKING GORGEOUS!
