Find Your Feet on a Skateboard

Always wanted to skateboard but never quite found your balance? At The Shred, Cape Town's indoor skatepark, you can learn to roll, turn and tackle your first tricks in a space designed for skaters of every level. With experienced instructors showing you the ropes, you'll build confidence on your board before graduating to ramps, rails and maybe even the bowl. Whether you're eight or eighty, it's never too late to discover the thrill of skating. And with a roof overhead, not even Cape Town's notorious wind can spoil the fun.

BEFORE YOU GO
The Shred offers one-hour skateboarding lessons for complete beginners through to advanced skaters, with individual coaching or small groups of up to three people. Skateboards, helmets and protective pads are included, so you don't need your own equipment. Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes suitable for skating. Lessons must be arranged in advance, and the indoor skatepark also has a café where you can relax afterwards.
