Paris

See all the sights from your skates and join 2 exciting street skates, while enjoying lesson time with Asha improving your stopping techniques, slope control, skating stride & general skills.

The Paris Trip is a medium – high level trip as central Paris is not easy to navigate and usually very busy so skaters need to be confident with pavement and street skating. Lesson time will be used to polish and master techniques so you leave the weekend a more accomplished and confident skater.
