Skateboarding Holidays: three islands you have to skate

A selection of spots in three European islands, starting in the Indian Ocean, going to the Mediterranean Sea and ending in the Atlantic Ocean. Three great spots, three good reasons to pack your things, to grab your board and go.

Welcome to Réunion, Ibiza and São Miguel (Azores), where skateboarding plays an important role in a large scope of experiences.

Traveling and skateboarding. A dream for many of you, right? Embracing nature, meeting new people, new cultures and (yeah, that is required!) new spots to ride. Here are three spots we have selected for you, island lovers: Saint Denis, Figueretas and Ponta Delgada.

On this lovely French island, called Réunion, 950 km east of the island of Madagascar, you'll find a 2630 m² skatepark built and designed by Constructo Skateparks in 2014 who teamed up with Signes Paysages for the mandatory landscaping. It features a kind of full package: you have street, you have flow, you have park, you have a bowl… after or before a nice swim in the Indian Ocean.

For those who are searching for fun, sun and skate, Ibiza is the place. It’s where you find Figueretas skatepark, also known as Ibiza skateplaza. It’s a concrete skatepark located next to Camps de futbol des Viver (they speak Catalonian, too). The park was designed by Spanish architect Daniel Yabar, known for his creative work. This skateplaza has become a new meeting point for skaters, bikers and rollers from around the world, making this Mediterranean island a must-go destination.

But if you prefer more tranquillity, green landscapes, epic surf, Atlantic weather and nice food cooked inside a volcano, Azores has all that. And it's got some fresh asphalt waves, too - we’re talking about the Ponta Delgada pumptrack, a bike and skateboard track built by Velosolutions in the capital of São Miguel, the biggest island of this Portuguese archipelago of the Azores, composed of nine precious pieces of land.

Let the good times roll.
