First Week Review “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! "
Six Week Review " Manaaki Skate 6 week learn to skate program is broken down perfectly at a pace where you can build up your skills week to week in a positive and empowering way for women. Each week after listening to Gina’s positive and supportive words instantly encourages you to hop back on your skateboard and keep at it. Gina was always just an email away to answer any questions and has continued to support me afterwards and connected me to the Wellness Riders Facebook group. Gina is more than a skate teacher, she is a coach, and has helped me gain a whole heap more than skating ; I have made a new friend, connected with an old friend, have an awesome hobbie to share with my fiancé and baby boy when he grows older and learnt a lot about myself on my skate boarding journey."

"So far I’ve found the videos so helpful in breaking down how to skateboard into bite size chunks. Just knowing the foundations like posture, foot position and how to start/stop really helped me to have more confidence as I was a bit nervous starting out.
I’ve found the program to be really easy to use and delivered in an upbeat and engaging way while remaining concise and informative. The video format is great because if you forget something you just go back and watch again"
