Your biggest cheer crew!

AN all inclusive female led skate club

We Skate Soton is a women-led skate community open to all skaters of all backgrounds and a variety of wheels. We have skateboards, roller skates and long boards in our crew! We are open to unicyclists too if that’s your bag!

Skateparks can be pretty intimidating spaces when you’re starting out. Our aim is to make parks and skate spots feel safe and a space that we belong in… a great way to do this is by skating in them with other people like us. Our meetups have a majority of women and girl skaters, and often a lot of brand new skaters, so do not feel intimidated, we are all learning together and making friends as we go! 💕

We meet every couple of weeks in skateparks all around the city. Our favourites include Bartley Park and Romsey Skatepark, and we are eagerly anticipating new parks within the city limits! At our meetups you can expect lots of laughs, tips and the loudest cheers in the park!

Everyone is welcome at our meetups. If you want to come skate with us but want to bring your friend or partner? No problem! We are attempting to break the boys club stereotype of skateboarding with a focus on challenging misogyny and stereotypes that have been attached to the skate scene, but that obviously doesn’t mean no boys allowed!

We want to help our community build confidence on their wheels and we think a great way to do that is by learning in a supportive environment, in a space that is primarily tailored to women's experiences and led by women.

If you want to see what we’re about you can find us on Instagram @weskatesoton, and if you want to get in touch via email it’s weskatesoton@gmail.com.

We are always open to finding new ways to be as inclusive as possible so do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you think there is something we can improve upon! We are always open to learning!

Lots of love, Emily and Amy xoxo
