Welcome to Broken Boards Ltd,

Where skateboarding and scootering meet community, creativity, and growth. Founded in 2022 by Mário Santos, our OG coach, we quickly added passionate riders to our team. We are dedicated to empowering individuals of all ages and abilities to discover the joy and freedom of skateboarding and scootering. Whether you're stepping on a board or scooter for the first time or perfecting your next trick, we're here to guide and support you.

Join us on this journey and let’s ride together.

Who we are and what we do

We believe skateboarding and scootering are more than sports. That's why we're not just about coaching, we're about creating a vibrant, inclusive space where everyone feels welcome.

  • "Mario is a fantastic coach. He’s so patient, calm and encouraging with children of all ages and ability. These sessions will teach your child more than just skating skills. Highly recommended."

    - Katie

  • "My son has loved his skateboard lessons after school. Mario is so calm and patient with the children. I have definitely seen an improvement in my son’s skills and confidence on the board. Mario provides all the safety gear- from helmets to wrist guards. Children are supervised safely but encouraged to take risks on their boards by using the drop in ramp with help from Mario. We’ll be signing up again next term and hopefully attending over the summer too!"

    - Claire Protherough

    - Joshua Haken

  • "A wonderful group of people who coach the children to keep trying and persevering ultimately becoming great little skateboarders. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed herself and was encouraged so much by thd coaches. She has been inspired to keep trying and to take on board a new skill."

  • "Such a great lesson, Georgia was amazing with my 5 year old and went out of her way to make it a brilliant experience for her. Fantastic role model and fantastic teaching!"

    - Eliza

  • "Amazing!!! Totally love the skate lessons with Broken Boards. Mario is a fantastic teach with loads of ideas! He is so enthusiastic, is a great skateboarder with super style! and always suggests things that I dont think I could do and then I surprise myself and id never try the tricks if he didnt suggest them. The adult lessons are a great vibe with like minded people and lots of support! Im so grateful to have these lessons to go to!"

    - Laura Greene

  • "My 2 kids joined Mario for the 2 day Skate Camp and loved every minute. They came away each day having learnt a few tricks and new skills building their confidence on their skateboards. Thank you Mario and Carina"

    - Angela Jameson

  • "Mário was super friendly, patient and calm teaching our 5 year old to skate. I wished these guys had existed when I was young! We'll definitely be bringing our son back for more lessons ☺️"

    - Sal Culmer

  • "We holiday every summer in Oxford and this time we booked 2 scootering lessons with Archie for our son who had been a crazy mad keen scootering until some trouble at our local park stopped him wanting to go Thankyou Archie for your patience as Henry was a bit rusty and frustrated as he knew he could do things before but was out of practise . You have sparked his enthusiasm again which I’m so grateful and got him learning some new tricks ."
