Wesley has over 10 years of professional skateboarding instruction experience. Starting out teaching with SF Park& Rec. "Shred and Butter" program, and has since started the recess skateboarding class at Harvey Milk Elementary, and the after-school skate programs at Sunnyside and Monroe Elementary schools in collaboration with SFUSD and the Mission branch YMCA. "I started "Golden Gate Skateboarding with a mission to provide comprehensive lessons/classes for all ages, while bringing the joy of skateboarding to the community.
The lessons will support skill development by practicing pushing the board, proper foot placement, turning, dropping in, the ollie, and many other essential skateboarding skills. Safety and a positive experience are always the focus.
Campers are grouped based on ability level. More advanced skaters will have an instructor assisting with more advanced tricks like "ollies" "50-50 grinds" "180's" "Kickflips" for campers with more skating experience. Our camp is for ALL ability levels.
"We pride ourselves on moving every camper to that next level on their skateboard, regardless of experience, while respecting the "focus is fun" mentality of skateboarding as a whole".
