We Are Skate Now
Teaching Sydney to skate since 2012 — from first pushes to skateparks, schools and communities across the city.
Our Story
Building on the legacy of the Kman skate school at The Entertainment Quarter, Skate Now began in 2012 with a handful of private lessons at Bondi Beach Skatepark. Things grew pretty quickly, and before long we were teaching 30+ kids a day at schools and OOSH centres across the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West and further afield.
Along the way, we developed and refined our own approach to teaching skateboarding, built around progressive skill development, safety and inclusion — while making sure kids are actually having fun.
From early on, we invested in quality skateboards and protective equipment for students to use at our lessons. We also began designing our own portable skate obstacles specifically for teaching. Beginner-friendly ramps, rails, manual pads and other features give new riders somewhere approachable to learn and build skills before progressing to larger obstacles and skatepark terrain.
Since then, Skate Now has grown into one of Sydney’s most established skateboarding lesson providers. In 2020, we were selected by the City of Sydney to run learn-to-skate programs at the newly opened Sydney Park skate facility.
More than a decade on, we’re still doing what we set out to do: helping people learn to skateboard, build confidence and have a good time doing it.
We make learning to skateboard easier
Learning to skateboard isn’t always easy. Skateparks can be busy and intimidating for new riders, and figuring things out on your own can mean plenty of learning the hard way.
We make getting started easier with clear, step-by-step instruction and progressive skill development, helping students build confidence while learning important skatepark awareness and etiquette.
With the right guidance and encouragement, students are often surprised by how quickly they can progress.
Our Mission
To provide high-quality skateboarding lessons with a strong focus on safety, skill development, creativity and, most importantly, fun, while staying true to skateboarding’s unique core culture.
