About
Golden Gate Skateboarding

Golden Gate Skateboarding is the only OFFICIAL Skateboard Camp provider of Waller Street Skatepark and Balboa Skatepark in partnership with the San Francisco Park and Recreation Department. We are also the only skateboarding program that serves the age group of 6-8*

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".

Amazing camp! My son can’t wait to go back and we are signing up for Saturday classes. He learned so much and I felt confident that he was safe and in great hands…and he was exhausted at the end of the day which is rare for my 6y/o!!

Wes and team are THE BEST. They have given so much confidence and support to both my boys over the years. This is one of our absolute favorite camps to attend, whether in the summer or on school holidays. We are so grateful for his team and for the skills and patience they have with all kids of all levels.
I wish my parents could have sent me to a camp like this as a kiddo! I'd be a much better skater!
