Went to the first San Diego GRO (Girls Riders Org) on Saturday July 9th and had a blast. 

I’ve always loved the events GRO puts on in other cities and I’m so thankful that @kelsaygroms & @kendra.sebelius have started a monthly Girls Skate Session at the Encinitas Community Park.  The 2nd Saturday of the month all girls – all levels including those just thinking about skateboarding are welcome to come to a free skate sesh from 10am – noon.

It is the perfect place to meet other girls interested in skateboarding. Can you learn to skate there?  Absolutely – most of the girls are more than happy to share their tips & boards. 

As for ages – you know how I feel about age – let no number define you or your happiness. But if you’re wondering there was a mix of all ages and all levels. 

What I also loved was the total inclusion – yes girls can skate with boys so there were boys – some brothers, dads, and friends who also enjoyed the park and beautiful day.  It’s a public park & public event all are welcome!

Also want to shout out thanks to Nekter Encinitas who supported the event with juice & water.  And all the donations for the free raffle – I know prizes for just showing up.  

I’m getting ready to go on my big European adventure but I’ll try to be back by Saturday August 13th for the next GRO San Diego Girls Sesh.   If you have any questions or need directions just let me know plus it will be posted on the upcoming recurring events page of my blog. 

Below are pictures my mom took and as for why is it good to have girl skate session?   Why not?  More girls skateboard when they see stylish girls skateboarding & get encouragement so a girls skate sesh lets you see & feel the encouragement.
