Women Only Skateboarding Lessons

Learn to skateboard with us! We run women only skateboarding lessons 2-3 times a month in Clapham Common, London. 

Our skateboarding lessons are fantastic for complete beginners through to intermediates skateboarders.

We’ve teamed up with experienced instructors to offer coaching to build your confidence on the board. All equipment is provided, it’s great opportunity to try skateboarding before investing in your own board. 

Our instructors offer the very best tuition, tailored for your level and create a super fun and supportive environment to try something new!

Skateboarding is a great training tool for surfers and snowboarders, it’s fantastic for building your board skills when the waves or snow are too far away. 

We provide skateboards, helmets and pads, simply rock up and get ready to fall in love with a new sport and join the Gutsy Girls SkateCrew.

Activities

  • The Paddle

    We start our paddle on the only remaining section of Somerset Coal Canal, before joining the Kennet and Avon Canal and paddling across the Dundas Aqueduct. It’s said to be one of the most picturesque canals in the country, surrounded by lush green landscapes and we can slow down and relax in nature!

    We’ll have a break for lunch, rafting our boards together for a floating picnic* and if there’s a spot for us in the pub garden we can have a little drink too!

    After lunch and an opportunity for a wild swim, we’ll continue our paddle back to the starting point on the River Avon.

    This unspoilt stretch of river is a tranquil spot, with plenty of kingfisher dragonflies buzzing in the reeds! We’ll portage across two weirs and finally paddle under the Dundas Aqueduct - taking us back to our starting point. We’ll paddle for 5-6 hours, paddling at a comfortable and relaxed pace to take in the beautiful scenery.

  • SUP Experience Required

    We’ll paddle for 5-6 hours, paddling at a comfortable and relaxed pace to take in the beautiful scenery.

    Basic paddleboarding skills are required, so please join us after you’ve had a lesson or two, and feel confident paddling 10km.
