"Wellness Riders gave me the start I needed to give skateboarding a go and keep at it. Their stress free sessions and their positive vibes were what I needed to take up this new hobby as an adult. Each session gives you the chance to develop a new skill and build confidence while making connections with awesome people who encourage you on your journey" Luzzettte. P

"The session my sister and I took was a fun experience that was lead by our cousin Gina and her workmate Teesh. We learned new skills and met new people in the program. Certainly a place of communication, new friendships and fun."

"After seeing your FB page before lockdown, I decided that it's about time I learn to skate. I'm 36 and have wanted to learn since I was a kid. I brought a board and have gone out a few time and loved it. Thanks for the constant Inso. It truely gave me the confidence to go for it, regardless of age." Nerice. C

"So happy Wellness riders came into my life! The knowledge and expertise, support and encouragement and teaching new positive lifestyle changes has been mind blowing. Really loved learning to board and understand health on a deeper level. Ree is an amazing woman wise beyond her years, a reflection of what she preaches! Recommend 100 percent!" Alice. Y

“Gina has a fun yet calm and clear teaching style, I liked how she spoke about how people often lean to far forward/back when learning to skate, so I was able to watch out for this and not get into bad habits early on in my skateboarding journey. The pace of the course so far is just perfect and Gina’s instructions are clear, thorough and reassuring. I can’t really fault anything other than the fact I wish I’d done this sooner but it’s never too late to learn and I’m feeling super proud and empowered that I’m giving this a go!"
