Girls of Sunset Skate Sessions
Grab a longboard and learn to cruise the streets of Melbourne.
Overview
Calling all girls who want to longboard: Melbourne longboarding community Sunset Skate Sessions is hosting a free lesson for beginners.
The Sunset Skate Sessions are free and run every weekend, but this is a series aimed specifically at women new to the sport. It's never too late to learn — Jesslyn, creator of the events, started skating when she turned 30.
"I never, ever thought I would skate as I didn't grow up with the culture or have friends who skated. So when I got my longboard in the USA, I was determined to convert my friends to skate with me and have a more active lifestyle," she says.
