Those hoping to pick up the sport can also join Por Vida Skateboarding's classes.
First-timers will need to take a compulsory 45-minute trial lesson for S$45 to learn the basics. Coaches can then make a recommendation for a suitable lesson plan.
From there, different types of lesson plans are available, ranging from solo classes at S$85 an hour to modular courses for a group of beginners at S$200 for four sessions.
