“We are very excited about the addition of Surf Skate to our flagship event, Extreme Barcelona, especially because this championship represents the most important event of the year for the community of athletes of this discipline in Spain. We are convinced that the format and sporting essence of the National Surf Skate League fits perfectly with the other urban sports we offer at our event, and that the spectators in Barcelona will enjoy the tricks of all the athletes.”
Toni Alvarez – Extreme Barcelona Sports Director
The National League of Surf Skate and Urban World Series join forces to bring for the first time to Extreme Barcelona this booming discipline.
The surf skate is a type of skateboarding that combines the best of surfing with skateboarding. It is practiced on a special board that simulates the sensations you would have on a surfboard, thanks to an axis designed specifically for it. These surfskates allow you to experience movements similar to those you would do in the water, even when there are no waves. They are ideal for improving your technique on asphalt and progressing in surfing faster.
“The entry of Surf Skate and the National Surf Skate League, organized by the Arima Sports Club in Extreme Barcelona, represents a milestone in the popularization of this discipline in Spain. It fosters competition and the growth of surf skate at a national level, offering a platform for emerging talents. The sensations revolve around excitement and adrenaline, combining the technique of surfing with the versatility of skateboarding.”
Aitor Gonzalez, President of Arima Surf Sports Club, based in Pineda de Mar, Barcelona.
