Skateboarding isn’t just about landing tricks—it’s about building a community. In this episode of Skate Talk, we dive into the real impact of skate associations on the local scene in Portugal. We brought together some heavy hitters in the community to break it all down:
🔹 Maycon Douglas – Moderator, keeping the convo rolling.
🔹 Rita Santos (All Aboard) – Pushing for inclusivity in skateboarding. @all.aboard.360
🔹 Francisco Andrade (Santo André Skate Plaza) – Developing a next-level local skate space.
🔹 Lais Reis (HerWheels351) – Leading the charge for women in skateboarding. @laisreis04
🔹 Francisco Vilas Boas (Couto Park) – Keeping grassroots skateboarding alive. @coutopark
We’re talking about:
🔥 The struggles & wins of running a skate association
🔥 How skateparks and local events change communities
🔥 What support (or lack of) exists from higher-ups
🔥 How to make skateboarding more inclusive & accessible Are skate associations getting the love they deserve, or are they still fighting for recognition? What does the future hold for local skate projects?

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
