Surfskate Stockholm

My Surfskate Journey in Stockholm

It all began after a transformative summer in Sagres, Portugal in 2022, immersed in the surf culture.

Upon returning to Stockholm, I realized I wanted to bring a piece of that wave-catching thrill to my city life, and thus, I bought my first surfskate. While cruising through the streets of Södermalm, someone shouted “Is that a surfskate?”. That was Fredrik, an enthusiast like myself, who had noticed the board, and who was running a LinkedIn chat group for surfskaters. This led to the creation of Surfskate Stockholm.

I initiated a Facebook group, ‘Surfskate Stockholm,’ which has since bloomed into a network of over 300 passionate members! This project is driven by our united love for the sea and surf brought onto the urban landscape of Stockholm.

What Surfskate Stockholm is all about

Living miles away from the ocean shouldn’t dampen your surf spirit. Surfskate Stockholm seeks to fill that void by being a hub where surfskaters connect, share tips, and hone their skills regardless of the city’s landlocked reality.

Whether you’re looking to perfect your maneuvering skills or just crave the camaraderie of fellow skaters, our Saturday Sessions at Highvalley Skateworld in Högdalen are your oasis of the concrete waves.

And for those looking to explore more, our Skatepark Safari will introduce you to fresh, exciting skate terrains every week.

Building a community

What started as a single shout on the street has become a thriving community fueled by our Facebook group and Instagram account. Our platforms offer a space for videos, discussions, and shared experiences.

The in-person meetups (every Saturday 12pm at Highvalley Skatepark in Högdalen) offer real-time tips, tricks, and a chance to forge lifelong friendships on four wheels.

The community is built non-profit by a bunch of driven enthusiasts (Swedish: “eldsjälar”, “fire souls” a word sorely missing in English). One person in particular stands out, the amazing Melissa, who is relentlessly pushing our growth, skills, and creativity.
