Watch out! It’s Coach Chris! The reason Rad Skat

Watch out! It’s Coach Chris! The reason Rad Skateboarding exists.

Chris’s partner Anna saw his talent and decided to exploit it, earning them some extra pocket money. It started out small, coaching just a couple of kids here and there and now look! ☺️

Chris started skating when his parents gave him a skateboard and rollerblades for his 10th birthday. Needless to say the rollerblades never left the box. It was, and always has been, about the skateboarding.

His favourite trick is a rock n roll board slide, but now he’s just happy to get out on his board… rad dad life. And his favourite place to skate is Malmo, Sweden. So that won’t be happening again anytime soon! (Thanks COVID 🙃).

Chris is available for private lessons - adults, advanced and beginner. He loves a bit of tranny, vert and pump track ❤️

We better not forget about our OG staff members…

We better not forget about our OG staff members…

Grady is a long way from home so let’s make him feel welcome! He’s originally from Burlington, Ontario, Canada and started skating when he was just 7 years old - just like the little groms he now teaches!

He loves himself a bit of the Wanaka skate park, and with that view we can see why! When asked what his fav trick is, he responded with “fs boneless or slob plant. One of the two, they tie for favourite haha”. He’s out there, keeping it core.

Grady has been helping us out with coaching since the beginning, three years ago now! The kids love him, we love him, all round rad bloke 🤘

Kia ora, nau mai Jess!

Jess grew up in the wild west coast of Auckland and (naturally) loves to surf. She started skating later in life so understands how terrifying skateboarding can be and how unforgiving concrete is. She is currently working on locking in a clean pop shuvit. Sticking to the board sports, Jess is also a talented snowboarder - as you can tell from the rolled up beanie.

Jess will be working behind the scenes doing admin and emails, helping to take some of the pressure off Anna. As well as coaching the kiddos during our lessons and drop-in sessions.

Welcome to the Rad Fam Jess!

$75 for 2 kids, but you’ll need to holla at us for this special price.

Wānaka! We are looking for a temporary indoor space! Do you know of any?

We would love to offer a school holiday program for the kids. We have the ramps we have the gear, we have the coaches, we just need the space!

‘Just use the skatepark?!’ I hear you say… Weather is fickle and we’d hate to be rained off.

If you know of anything, please send us a dm or contact anna@rad.nz
