Cardiff’s skate culture has a broad influence from all over the UK including the likes of Bristol, London and Cornwall. A big part of this is down to the large community of students, giving locals an insight into other styles and influences from around the UK. Cardiff’s local skaters are a tight knit community with everybody knowing who’s on the scene. Whether you’re a new skater moving to Cardiff or just visiting, the locals are very friendly and are happy to have a game of skate or give you some advice on what spot to hit next. The skating talent in Cardiff is incredible thanks to the huge diversity in architecture, allowing skaters to get creative with their tricks. Cardiff is relatively small as far city’s go, so skating from spot to spot is no challenge. You could go from skating the streets of the city centre to skating Cardiff Bay Plaza or bombing hills in Penarth within 20 minutes.
