Del - Skateboard.

“Hey, I’m Del Boy, here to help you catch some big airs, build your confidence and help you master the piece of wood beneath your feet. With my 5 years of experience on the board I’ve spent my time following the thrill of the perfect line whilst also helping others find their passion in the sport.

While I love the rush of hitting stairsets and finding that new street spot, I specialise in transition skating with big bowls and massive fly-outs. I’m all about commitment. 

Now, I didn’t start coaching yesterday. I’ve been helping people out since just after my first year on the board. My goal is to make you love skating just as much as I do and whether or not it’s your first time stepping on a board, I’m here to help you make your next steps. 

Overall, I want to make the skatepark a friendly place where everyone feels welcome and you can feel like you’re making progress”.
