Taking skateboarding beyond the board.

We develop self esteem, personal identity and self image through positive attitudes and skateboarding.

Based in Wānaka, Rad have a skateboarding facility at Paetara Aspiring Central. They have also been a part of building features for Northlake DIY skate plaza.

We also run lessons in Hāwea, Cromwell, Arrowtown, and Queenstown when we can.
