🔥 THE MOST REQUESTED SCHOOL HOLIDAY ACTIVITY IS BACK! 🔥

We’re heading back to Sonskate! Sonsk8 Indoor Skate Park Auckland

After a bunch of epic trips over the years, we’re stoked to be bringing our Sonskate tours back these school holidays. And there’s even more reason to get excited — since our last visit, the park has expanded even more! Meaning more ramps, more features, and more opportunities to level up your skating.

Whether you’ve never skated indoors before or you’ve been counting down the days until our next trip, this is one you won’t want to miss.

📅 Lock these dates in now — full details and bookings coming soon!

We’re also looking at running a Saturday session for our older/later skaters, so let us know if that’s something you’d be keen on.

💛 Keen? Send us a DM or email to register your interest and be first in line when bookings open.

Big thanks to our mates at Sonskate for helping us make these adventures happen.

Our lessons are designed so everyone can find success, no matter where they’re at in their skate journey.

We work through a range of skills, challenges, and obstacles, breaking everything down into achievable steps so skaters can build confidence and progress at their own pace. We offer both beginner-focused and more advanced sessions each week, but different skill levels can still learn side by side — because there’s always a way to adapt, challenge, and level up each skill.

One skatepark. All abilities. Plenty of wins. 🛹✨

Skating in a group brings the hype. You push each other, celebrate each other’s wins, learn from watching others, and realise everyone falls, struggles and progresses differently. It turns skating from something intimidating into something social and fun. For kids especially, it helps build confidence, friendships and a sense of belonging.

PARENT TESTIMONIAL 💛💛

Since starting skateboarding with Mieka and happy skate school, we’ve seen Isaiah’s growth in both skills and confidence.
Her encouragement, praise, and positivity are unlike anything I’ve seen before. Mieka is fun, energetic, full of ideas, and has a way of breaking skills down so they feel achievable. She is also incredibly flexible and works alongside Isaiah’s individual needs, helping him feel supported, capable, and successful.

Thanks so much for sharing your skate story with us!

We would love to hear yours…

You have until the end of this song to sign up. KAW!

Group lessons, private coaching, tiny skaters, complete beginners, adults who haven’t stepped on a board in 20 years… you’re all welcome.

Don’t overthink it. Hit the link and let’s skate. 🛹

What happens if it rains? 🌧️🛹

We get asked this one a lot!

Waikato weather can change its mind five times before lunchtime, so we try not to make the call too early. If it’s only a little damp, we’ll often find a way to keep things rolling — sometimes that means skating under cover next to the library and thugging it out.

If the weather is looking questionable, keep an eye on our socials for updates. And if you’re ever unsure, don’t be shy to flick us a message. We’d much rather answer your question than have you wondering whether to show up.

For students enrolled for the term, any lessons cancelled due to weather on our behalf won’t be lost. We’ll make those sessions up during the school holidays, so you still get the lessons you’ve paid for.

Waikato weather does what it wants — but we’ve always got a backup plan. 🤝🛹

ADHD brains were built to move.

Skateboarding is like fidgeting with purpose.

Skateboarding is fidgeting with purpose.

Perfect for busy brains that learn best when they’re moving. 🛹

Less sitting still. More rolling, learning and thriving. ⚡

Skating is always more fun with a crew 🤝

Group lessons turn falling over into laughing, learning and trying again — while building confidence and connection along the way 🛹

Skating is so much more than learning tricks 🛹

It builds confidence, resilience, creativity and connection — while giving kids and adults a healthy outlet to move, focus and express themselves.

Every small win matters, and we love getting to watch our skaters grow both on and off the board 🤝
