Surf Skate Science is a project of Christian Skaters Inc.
TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN THROUGH FUN
We understand the struggle
It's a fact... kids just learn more when learning is hands-on and they are having fun. Our
coop classes offer active learning opportunities where kids can learn the science behind activities they love.
Learn the science of surfing
You will learn the science behind waves and get to know our local marine life. We will even visit a local
shaper and get an inside look at how a surfboard is made.
Learn the science of skateboarding
Create your own skateboard deck, learn how a skateboard is created, and find out what science has to do
with landing a trick.
At our classes, students are not just skaters in a park or surfers in the water but scientists talking about
motion, Newton's laws, simple machines, and the environment.
