Neal Mims Skate Academy, Oceanside

At Neal Mims Skate Academy, pro skater Neal Mims and his team of instructors teach students everything they need to know to master the board. They do so during private lessons held at skate parks throughout the region, as well as week-long skate camps. Whereas private lessons allow for individualized attention, the camps give participants the chance to socialize and make friends. Skate camps are for groups of no more than six, and include a T-shirt, a certificate of achievement, and a gift bag.
