Deadly! Sammy is the best! He’s an amazing teacher not just because of his experience but because he is incredibly patient and encouraging! He’s super passionate about skating and helping others learn. It’s just been a few weeks and he’s instilled such confidence in my daughter. I highly recommend Sammy to anyone who wants to skate. He’s even inspired me to give it a shot. ♥️🛹♥️

SB Skateboard Academy is the real deal. My 8yr old daughter was coached by Sam. He's ability to communicate what is needed and put into practice is outstanding. For anyone looking to get into skateboarding as a beginner or even an intermediate skater, SB Skateboard Academy is the place to be. I have no hesitation in recommending Sam and the Academy.
Amazing knowledge and has been an amazing stepping stone for my daughters skateboarding.

Starting to skateboard as an adult (30 years old) was certainly intimidating. I consider myself extremely lucky that I was able to connect with Sammy to get started. He was able to help significantly boost my confidence and get me moving on the board from day one! I was able to find a new passion and now I can’t get enough of it! Sammy was patient, and an excellent teacher and now I would even consider him a friend. If you are looking for lessons and want to improve or learn a new hobby then stop hesitating and learn from the best!
