Urban Active offers a wide range of sports and activities, please find below descriptions of our most popular sessions and activities. All are great for Birthday Parties.

URBAN SURFING A new sport due to explode in popularity this summer. Urban Surfing is a unique combinationof Snowboarding (80%), Surfing (19%) and a bit of Skateboarding (1%). It uses an amazing board with only two wheels, one at the front and one at the back. The wheels rotate 360 degrees allowing the board to be propelled by the rider, without having to get off the board or push along like skateboarding. The Urban Surf boards can even be used up hill, so you can grind up hill and surf down hill without getting off. All safety equipment is provided when you book this activity. Safety is a priority so every child will be provided with an Urban Surf board, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards and helmet. A great activity for any occasion. (Age 6 yrs + only)

"The Urban Surfing delivered by Urban Active was fab, not only did the young people learn a new skill, it improved confidence and kept them occupied for the full 2 hours (no mean feat!). Thanks for that, it's not often someone can take them on and win! It's probably the best activity we have had at our centre...ever! The young people all asked 'when is he coming back'. Take care and hope to work with you again soon".

STREET GLIDERS Wheels on the heels, Street Gliders are similar to 'HEELYS' but instead of a shoe with wheels they are a fully adjustable unit that fits onto the back of virtually any shoe (wearing trainers is recommended). The great thing about Street Gliders is that they also light up, so they look great when being used. Children can learn new skills and tricks or practice ones they already know. Street Gliders can also be combined with Street Hockey, which gives a great and exciting game for children who have mastered how to use the Street Gliders.
