Our 5 year old had his first-ever skateboarding lesson with Estevan today. It went well! He learned how to push, "shoes on screws," turn and do a trick (on the dirt). Estevan was patient and kind with our son, making learning fun and giving him space when he got distracted by his surroundings. We were even given tips on how to help our son practice. We loved our experience with Go Go Skateboarding Lessons. Estevan is a great coach! read more

Yes!! Definitely 5 stars for this business run by coach Diego and team! Absolutely one of the best skateboarding classes that I've ever enrolled for my kids in South Bay area. We were referred by our community friend, and this class is located in Los Alamitos Elementary school in Almaden Valley area. Coach Diego really takes care each of the student. And there is a reason why he limits the number of students for each class, so then every kid would get enough attention from the coaches. This class is also perfect for first timers kids who want to explore skateboarding. My daughter did not even know how to cruise at first and coach Diego and team gave a lot of encouragement to boost her confidence. And they always gave her support to finally cruise by herself. If you're looking for skateboarding class, enroll from this business! and you will understand what I was writing about. read more

Coaches are amazing, kind and know what they are doing! I feel like my son is in safe hands. He loves going there and has improved so much! Thanks gogo skateboarding! read more

This review is long overdue. We have had several lessons through Go Go Skateboarding, both private and Camps and Coach Diego, Coach Raul and team are just the best!!! Communication on point! Safety SUPER ON POINT! FUN?!!! You bet!! Unfortunately, our now 8 year old has lost interest in skateboarding but he started at 6 years old and really enjoyed his experience here. 5 stars PLUS!!! read more

Coach Diego and his team of coaches are amazing! Coach Diego is patient, kind, encouraging, enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgeable. He's truly gifted! Go Go Skateboarding was more than an opportunity for my son to learn to skateboard; with Coach Diego and his team it was an opportunity to belong to a supportive a nurturing community! Each day was filled with encouraging and supportive lessons that focused on skateboarding skills as well as on confidence, safety, community and self efficacy. I wish I could give Go Go Skateboarding and Coach Diego more than 5 stars! read more

I have observed Go Go Skateboarding providing instruction at Los Alamitos Elementary School and could not be more impressed. They have mastered the art of providing instruction at multiple levels during a group session. Their instruction is based on providing lessons based on a participant's current level and successfully moving them to the next level. The safety of their students is reflected in the safety equipment provided and the 1 on 1 instruction provided - building confidence of their students as they progress. Go Go Skateboarding is AAA+++ read more

I can't say enough great things about Go Go Skateboarding! My son is 6 and had the opportunity to take lessons through his school. He was the youngest in the class with barely any experience on a skateboard aside from riding on his booty. After 5 lessons he's much more confident and able to stand and ride a few feet. The coaches are so patient and knowledgeable and make the lessons so fun! I highly recommend them! read more

As the year is drawing to a close, and we reflect upon what we have done and what we would like to contemplate for the new year for our kids (and perhaps for ourselves), I'd like to throw in skateboarding into the ring. My introduction to skateboarding was by way of my brothers. They had The Banana Board which was big in the 70s. My use of it was limited to kneeling on my left knee while pushing off with my right leg. Otherwise, it was those two messing around while I played in the junipers with their Hot Wheels cars. Flash forward to the present where I'm the parent of these little guys whose mission in life is to have boundless energy (but sometimes get caught up in being afraid to try new things). We tried team sports and learned that these fellas work best beating to their own drum with their own rhythm, timing, and sass. Wishing to respect that while encouraging them to know their bodies and accept the physical and metaphoric challenges of falling down and getting up, I flashed back to the Banana Board days and skinned knees. Voila! Skateboarding seemed like the sport to try. Throw in the uncertainty of Covid and having spent their Kinder year pent up inside doing remote learning, being outside in the sunshine seemed like a no-brainer. Yes, I was a cheerleader in high school. Yes, I'm that person who, though is quite reserved at times, will holler her head off with excitement and wonder why nobody else is doing so. So when I saw my guys (who are hesitant to ride their bikes or scooters) get on the board, find their balance, and cruise, I was ecstatic. I would woot woot them and clap. The thing is, I only didn't hear my voice. I heard Coach Diego, Coach Raul, and their team rooting my boys on. My guys who had the goofiest way of running were on the board and going up/down ramps and learning how to drop in to them. The excitement was visceral. Coach Diego and his crew are so awesome. Here is a team of guys who are utterly cool and the kids look up to them. They use their authority to get on their level and teach them things such as tenacity, confidence, perseverence...life skills that are transferable to other aspects of their life (e.g., homework; I have often paraphrased Coach when it has come time to do math). It is quite amazing to see this group of instructors know how to get on the kids' level and gently yet exuberantly motivate them. They are always there to ensure that the kids are having a fun and safe time. They sense if the kids need to chill for a bit, and they know when it is time to rally them. January is just around the corner and a new month of lessons is coming upon us. Will you open 2022 with a new journey? I hope so! read more

Coach Diego and his crew are awesome! My daughter has been going to their after school lessons for the last two years and loves it! The whole team is super patient and works with the kids at whatever pace they want. When they see the kids are ready and willing to try new things, they're supportive and encouraging without being pushy. They also have all the equipment you need on hand for kids to use! read more

My daughter absolutely LOVED her skateboarding lessons!! Coach Diego and his team were very professional and so great with the kids. My daughter felt more confident after each class and really enjoyed the lessons. She never imagined that she would be learning how to use skate boarding ramps! Thanks to Coach Diego and team for cheering her on and making her feel comfortable. These guys are great at what they do. Such a fun time! read more

We've tried lessons with a couple of different places and this team run by Coach Diego has been the most professional, easy to work with, and schedule. We had Coach Raul and he is great with kids! He had my child progressing quickly and working on new skills in every lesson. read more

My son found a his favorite activity thanks to this team! One hour lessons, the kids get to practice and the coaches are very patient with the kiddos. Highly recommend. Awesome work Diego! read more

I absolutely love that I came across Go Go Skateboarding. My son is crazy about it and looks forward to his one on one with coach Raul and his Saturday classes with coach Diego and others. They are so encouraging, patient, and just overall amazing with the kids. I will continue to sign up for classes for both my kids. I always tell everyone about them and will continue to spread the word. My son has improved so much and can't wait for more improvement! read more

Coach Diego and his crew have made a real skater out of my 9-year-old son, who now says "Skateboarding is my favorite, most important thing"! He's been in four of the weeklong camps and nearly every Saturday session all this summer, and his skills and confidence just keep getting better. It's such a fun, welcoming, encouraging environment for all skaters regardless of age, gender, or ability level, and there's always a life lesson or two along the way (e.g. "Falling is how you learn!") -- these folks are careful, patient, safety-conscious and knowledgeable, the best coaches I've encountered in all my two kids' sport/lesson/activity-doing. I'm a little old to take up the sport myself, but if I decided to, GoGo Skateboarding would have another new student. read more

Coach Diego has a passion not only for skateboarding, but for teaching kids perseverance, being good sports, helping others and having fun. My son loves to skate and really looks up to coach Diego, he has built a very cool team of coaches with him that create a super nice environment were kids can be themselves, grow in skill and try new things. read more

Highly recommend! Not only does your kid get comfortable on a skateboard with Coach Deigo and crew, but they teach life lessons as well, which was a huge bonus for me. Great role models for kids of all ages. read more

My daughter loved the week-long summer camp and learned many new tricks and body balancing methods. Coach Diego was great.

Diego and crew are great. Super nice guy and they are totally set-up to teach a group of kids at all levels with patience and encouragement. My kid really enjoyed the week summer camp. Highly recommend if your kid wants to try skating. read more

My 7 year old son got a skateboard for Christmas but neither myself or his dad had any skateboarding experience. We had seen Diego and his set up at his elementary school and decided to give it a try. I am so happy we did, we started with one of the camps (1 hour a day, 4 days in a row) and in that time my son got all the basics he needed to start practicing on his own. Diego has been great about questions, especially about gear and I really appreciate that each of his lessons has a general theme and he relates it to skateboarding, for example perseverance - getting up when you fall down or awareness - watching out for other riders or awareness of your own skills and are they up up to that skill or trick. We've done 4 of his camps now and my son is ready to go back for more, my daughter wants a skateboard for Christmas and first thing we will do is sign her up with Diego. read more

My daughter has been taking skateboarding lessons with Go Go Skating for years. She is 11 now and still loves it! They were conveniently located at her elementary school, but even if they weren't we would have traveled for her to attend. Coach Diego is amazing! She has so much more confidence and loves all the skater lingo! read more

My kids love Diego - they will only take skateboarding lessons from him! As a parent, I like how Diego has a "word of the day", which he uses to impart a lesson to the kids, such as Respect, Mindfulness, etc. I highly recommend Diego for elementary age children looking to gain confidence in their skateboarding. read more

Can't recommend enough! Coach Diego was amazing! I was so impressed with his patience and interactions with the kids. He was able to keep track of each kid and how best to help them. He had a great attitude and incorporated value lessons (like respect and hard work) along with the skateboarding lessons. We did a 4 lesson camp for our son and we will be signing him up again. read more

Coach Diego is wonderful! Kind, attentive, and supportive. These lessons have not just been great fun but chances to grow and learn new things. My daughter loves skating and enjoys all the new challenges Coach Diego offers her in clinics and lessons and she's been fortunate to work with him and his staff. Infinite support and encouragement. It's been wonderful to watch her embrace the sport with joy. When there's a clinic or lesson, she's up and ready, out the door and ready to skate. I know we're already looking forward to the next. Thank you, Coach Diego! read more

We were looking for skateboarding for our son. I decided very quickly after reading so many reviews about Diego. They were all correct. From the beginning his communication was so good. He responded quickly and was so good a communicating with this mom who was worried about COVID and what this would all look like for my son. Diego was so great with my son. He is encouraging patient and such a down to earth good guy who wants to make the kids feel confident and empowered. I'm so grateful our family found Diego and his team. My son learned so much and was sad to see it end. Thanks Diego. You are maki g such a difference for kids. I know mine is better for it. read more

My girls (8 & 6 years old) have been taking lessons with Coach Diego for a couple of years. Diego is a gifted skateboarder and teacher. He is extremely patient, kind, encouraging, and positive and makes every lesson fun and safe for the kids. His lessons and camps are well organized and teach both safety and skills. My girls love their lessons at Go Go Skateboarding. Theyhave improved tremendously and feel very confident on their skateboards. I highly recommend Go Go Skateboarding. read more

Coach Diego is an AMAZING coach! My daughter has been in group sessions with him for a few months now. He is great with the little ones - super patient, warm and friendly. I've seen a lot of progress in my daughter. Diego provides simple advice that can easily be digested and breaks down techniques so kids can understand. He is super encouraging and positive all the way! I see my daughter really push herself and you can see the confidence as she skates. My daughter is always looking forward to her skate session with Coach Diego. Highly recommended!! read more

We have been sending our son to weekly camps with Diego for a little over a year now. It has been such an awesome experience for him - and one that goes way beyond skateboarding. When we first took him, he was still leaning to push. Less than a year later he was dropping in and doing grinds on a ramp. Diego and his team accommodate a wide range of boys and girls in terms of age and skill level. The coaches talk about things like determination, respect and commitment and how the students can apply those concepts in life and learning any new skill. Diego's own commitment to the kids he teaches is inspiring. read more

I don't have much experience in skateboarding but when some friends suggested we try this program my 9 year old son was hooked. So much that my 7 year old daughter asked to join the next time! The coaches are amazing. Not only did my kids learn new skills on the skateboard but they learned so much about being a positive person. These coaches do such an amazing job of teaching kids on staying positive even if you fall or don't do a skill right. Our kiddos need more positive role models like these coaches. I would recommend Go Go Skateboarding Lessons, Coach Diego and his staff without a moment's hesitation. Now I must go and sign the kids up for another round of lessons!!! read more

Go Go skate was such a wonderful experience for my 5 year old son. In the 8 sessions he had, I saw such a boost in his overall confidence as a person. The coaches are great with the kids, especially coach Diego! My son walked taller after hearing coach yell across the yard to say "hi" was seemed to be as soon as we parked the car! It's the little things! Everyday my son asks if it skateboarding lessons! We can't wait to sign up for more!! read more

Coach Diego is simply outstanding! My 7 year old has had a wonderful time learning skateboarding from him and his crew! Coach Diego is patient, kind and extremely encouraging which is needed for young kids as they venture into new sports!! We cannot recommend Go Go Skateboarding lessons enough!!! read more

This is the best skateboarding. Not only does Coach Diego and the others teach skateboarding skills, they teach life lessons like never giving up, courage, bravery etc by having a word of the day. My 12 year old started lessons with Coach Diego in elementary school and he always wants to sign up again. They have skill levels for beginners up to advance. I highly recommend them. read more

Diego is AWESOME with the kids!! For my sons birthday I set up a group lesson for my son and his cousins. It was SO fun!!! Diego was so great with the kids. We already signed up for more lessons! read more

Diego and his crew are amazing coaches. They explain and break down the techniques so that kids understand what to do and are so positive and encouraging. When my son with special needs had a difficult first class, Diego offered to give him a free private lesson to teach him some basics and help him build his confidence. It worked and he was able to participate in the rest of the classes with the group. I appreciate the responsiveness and support provided. Talk about an inclusive program that goes above and beyond! Thank you! read more

Coach Diego and his team are absolutely amazing. He inspires the kids in every way. He nurtures their physical and emotional development. He and his team encourage the kids to not give up and always do their best. Skateboarding with Coach Diego is the highlight of my sons' week. They look forward to it. I highly recommend his classes. He is a kind and patient coach. Everyone of his team has made an effort to come up to me after class and introduce themselves and let me know what my kids are doing. They are a first class team. read more

All the coaches were positive and encouraged the kids to try all the ramps and rails to develop confidence. They provide plenty of choices of boards if the kids don't have one and for them to try different kinds too, to see which one they like. They encourage safety and independence by having the kids wear helmets and pads, and put them on themselves. But they are always there to help. I couldn't have asked for a better group of guys to teach my son how to skateboard. I'm looking forward to having them back and coach my son again! read more
