In 2010, our founder fell in love with Cuba while studying abroad in Havana and built a tight-knit family of skaters that had limited supplies. With each visit he would bring back more gear and our programs have continued to grow.
Our mission is to Support the evolution of skateboarding in Cuba, Build local communities and international connections, and Cultivate youth through sport.
Skateboarding brings together community and develops individuals. It is a unique way to engage youth and bring people together at the intersection of sport, culture, and transportation. Through our programs, Cuba Skate develops a new generation of leaders that are better equipped to tackle challenges in their own lives and connect their local and global communities.
We work with a number of skateboarding companies, shops and professionals to support our on the ground programs. Our partners provide in-kind contributions, such as shoes, boards, wheels, trucks, bearings and more, totaling over $250,000 annually to keep our participants rolling!
