Anyone else crying for a tear drop transfer? This is a unique piece, it has variable transitions from 8ft, to 12ft. It could give you a boost, tickle your tummy with a gentle landing, up your revs or slap you in the face

Please dm .skate for access for photo shoots or legit reasons that may bring us some needed incomes to keep the dream alive.

Opening this Friday. Entrance will be free on this day, but limited . To get on the list please hit the link in our bio to register / sign an indemnity form.

This bowl is gnarly, approach with caution, helmets recommended. We strongly encourage a few walk arounds before jumping in.

This facility with your continued support will evolve while we will try our best to provide a safe, clean and nurturing environment. Thanks to Vans South Africa] for their recent generous contributions, this is testimony to a longstanding brand that wants the establishment of skateboarding in major cities. Never forgetting all the volunteers that have lent a hand through the years🙏

As the facility was founded by skateboarders we will be mostly skateboarding focused on this opening day and into the holidays. We are developing an online booking system where groups of friends can arrange to session together. Essentially we wish to occupy this space long into the future as a platform for fun, expression and creativity. Right now we all just wanna get in there and feel out the fresh lines
