Roarockit Skateboard School!

THE WORLD'S FIRST PROFESSIONAL SKATEBOARD BUILDING SCHOOL

Roarockit offers full-week building programs, designed for you to build your dream board! Choose to make a skate deck, pintail, or a more advanced drop deck. With an experienced insructor to show you the steps and share all the builder’s tricks and tips, you will produce a seriously awesome board the very first time, and will be able to continue making boards with your new-found knowledge.

Using the best wood in the world for a skateboard (Canadian maple), you’ll learn how to laminate a 3 dimensional board in a Thin Air Press, finish it, design and apply your own graphics. Using Roarockit’s patented method, your quality board will be entirely hand-made, using the power of vacuum, no power tools required.

As there is drying time between many of the steps, skateboard building requires multiple sessions to complete the stages. Sessions are planned so that all the steps are completed by the end of the 5 day program, so attendance at all 5 days is required. Space is limited, so submit your application early to ensure your spot at one of the dates listed below!
