We have noticed that there is a lot of interest in skateboarding among girls. However not many are confident enough to start rolling the skate parks that are usually taken over by boys.
Kohine Maia project and Skate School Nelson has been providing support to young girls who wish to develop their skateboarding skills. Tasman District Council has partnered with these two groups to organise a fun event for girls at Richmond Skate Park, on Friday, March 12.
All girls (young and not so young) are invited to come and practice their skills in a safe setting. It will be a relaxing afternoon, with coaching, demos, music and kai. We will also paint some parts of the skatepark to make it brighter and more relevant to local young people.
