Beyond the Board, in collaboration with the YMCA of Sherwood, Oregon, presents the "Teach Your Dad to Skate" event this Father's Day. Aimed at strengthening bonds through shared activity, this event invites kids and their dads to step into each other's shoes - first as learners, then as teachers of skateboarding. With expert guidance from our expert team of professional athletes and facilitators, we're setting the stage for an unforgettable day of learning, laughter, and skateboarding. Join us to celebrate fatherhood, friendship, and the thrill of riding together.
