Skate PNG was created with one simple goal — to empower the youth of Papua New Guinea through the world of skateboarding.

It all began at Taurama Beach, where a tight-knit group of local riders met every weekend to skate, surf, and dream. They built and rebuilt wooden ramps, only to watch them fall apart in the tropical weather — but they never gave up.

With support from Victoria Hudson, the McLaughlin family, Surfing PNG, Pyramid Board Riders Club, and the Solien family, that dream became a movement.

In 2018, Skate PNG officially became a registered charity, dedicated to growing the local skate scene and empowering the next generation.

Since then, we’ve built Papua New Guinea’s skate space, built a team of leaders and provided free skate lessons to communities all over Port Moresby. And we’re just getting started!
