Discover Our Educational Skate Program in Peru

The program began modestly, with a simple wooden ramp, which we repaired and expanded thanks to a grant from the Australian Embassy. In 2021, with the support of Wall Street Skate Shop and the Concrete Jungle Foundation, we built a complete skatepark that has since become a gathering spot for the community’s youth.

After helping to construct the skatepark, Freddy, who had come to teach skateboarding in a municipal program, took over the direction of Waves Lobitos skate program. Initially, there were only eight skateboards for 32 kids, which posed a real challenge. But with organization and enthusiasm, Freddy ensured that each child could participate and learn.

Today, the program welcomes over 60 children and young people, who gather twice a week to learn and practice skateboarding. Many of these children had never skated before, but through this program, they discovered a new sport that allows them to express themselves, overcome fears, and build confidence. It’s more than a pastime: these young people gain qualities they can apply to all areas of their lives.

The skate program in Lobitos goes far beyond teaching a sport. It creates a space where kids can develop, learn values like perseverance and mutual support, and form bonds with others. Skateboarding thus becomes a tool that helps them grow, develop, and explore new opportunities.
