Nau mai, haere mai to Wellness Riders — welcoming, family-friendly skate sessions designed for riders of all ages, stages, and abilities. Whether it’s your very first time stepping onto a board or you’re looking to grow your skills with confidence, our qualified coaches create a safe, supportive space where everyone can learn at their own pace.
When you arrive at the skatepark, you’ll be greeted by our friendly coaching team, who will help you gear up with a helmet, pads, and a skateboard of your choice. We offer cruisers, surf-skates, longboards, and trick boards — all equipment is provided free of charge.
We’ll begin with a relaxed warm-up before moving into a mix of beginner-friendly skills, guided practice, and fun challenges tailored to your level. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already cruising comfortably, our coaches are there to support you step by step.
Our kaupapa is all about social connection and confidence-building. These sessions help tamariki, rangatahi, and adults make new friendships while feeling part of a positive and inclusive skate community. We place a strong emphasis on supporting female participation, with many mums and daughters — along with siblings, cousins, and friends — enjoying the sessions together.
Throughout the session, you’ll have time to practise, try new skills, and connect with others in a relaxed, uplifting environment. We finish with a short cool-down and group wrap-up before returning gear.
Everyone is welcome.
Just bring a drink bottle, flat covered shoes, and comfy clothing — we’ll take care of the rest.
Come roll with us and experience the joy of skateboarding in a fun, empowering way!
