Working in conjunction with Active Schools East Lothian Council has been another huge step for The Surfskate Academy


## Surfskate after school clubs in collaboration with Active Schools, East Lothian Council ##

Applying the same after school club format that we have applied with other primary schools, but this time with the special touch of doing it together with Active Schools at Yester Primary School.
Yester is a small in land school with less than 150 students. The school is like a big family where everyone knows each other.
The day The Surfskate Academy visited the school to do a tester session, the enthusiasm was high and not only from the children, the teachers too!
Within just a few hours from Active Schools opening the booking, the two groups of 10 children were full!
In February 2023 we will resume classes with the same format.

Consistency and hard work! This group of students showed passion for the training and the results were immediate!

## Glasgow University Surf Club ##

Glasgw University's surf club has over 300 members and each student was very receptable to understand the biomechanics of surfing and to progress session after session.
The program consisted of two back to back sessions once a week for several weeks. At first, the proposal was to set up groups of no more than 10 people but that goal was greatly exceeded.
Thank you very much Glasgow University for your trust!

EUWSC 2022 Surfskate Academy training program was very succesful. Great turn out at the sessions and very good results in competitions. The 2023 sessions start in February

## Edinburgh University Windsurf and Surf Club (EUWSC) ##
The club was born in 1981. 
43 years later the club has more than 250 members. Surf trips around Scotland and Europe, Surf Yoga classes and Surf Coaching session are some of the activities that the club offers every year.
Edinburgh's nearest surf breaks are around 45 minutes drive away which means students often miss out on the opportunity to go surfing, but with The Surfskate Academy's training programmes students can not only keep their surfing fresh, they can  also progress consistently.
2022 was a great success.
In addition to having a lot of people in the surfskate training sessions, the club won first place in the Scottish Universities Surfing Championships held in Aberdeen.
2023 training program starts again in February 2023

Great 5 weeks of a Surfskate couse with North Berwick Children and Youth Network at Aberlady.

It was another very rewarding experience to have worked in conjunction with the North Berwick Children and Youth Network.
The course was carried out in the format of two back to back groups sessions of 8 children every Friday after school.
None of the children had experience in surfskating and only a few had experience in skateboarding.
Teamwork, overcoming fears and a lot of camaraderie were some of the qualities that stood out.
The result was excellent!
All the children finished their course being able to manage the Surfskate well and they were left with great memories and new friends.
Thank you very much for trusting The Surfskate Academy

## Fringe By The Sea 2022

It was an honour to be part of the Fringe By The Sea 2022 in collaboration with NB Community Skatepark Project.

Two weekends full of Surfskate coaching in the format of group sessions for kids and group sessions for adults.
More than 40 kids came to have their first Surfskate experience and we could tell that they loved it!
Now, more than ever, North Berwick needs an improved skatepark.

The Surfskate Academy was delighted to be one of the sponsors of this fantastic event in conjunction with Red Bull, SRFACE, C-Skins, SurfCoo and Surfers Against Sewage

## Scottish Universities Surfing Championships ##

The Surfskate Academy was delighted to be one of the sponsors of this fantastic event!
We had a bit of everything. Sunny skies, glassy waves, some onshore winds, plus a few minutes of hailstones then glassy conditions for the rest of the day. Really great camaraderie in between all the competitors, good food, brilliant organisation, lots of fun and lots and lots of surfskating!!!
We had 11 YOW Surfskates with different designs, different wheel bases and deck lengths for everyone on the beach who wanted to have a go and the stoke was real!!!
People were queuing up and waiting for their turn. Some people had never had the chance to try a surfskate before and other people were killing it!
Such a fun event !!!
Big thanks to everyone involved.

Red Bull UCI World Qualifiers in Edinburgh

It was an absolute pleasure to have been invited to be part of the UCI Red Bull Pump Track World Championship Scottish Qualifiers organised by Red Bull.
The Surfskate Academy had the Pump Track for one hour just before the finals.
The idea was to promote other sports on wheels and with surfskating being on the rise it was the perfect fit for the event.

It was an expression session where anyone was able to join us, have a go with any of the 11 YOW surfskates and if anybody needed some coaching we were there to help out.
Such a great event with good weather and lots of action!

__Location:__ Skelf Pump Track, Edinburgh, Scotland.
