Skate helmets, NZ

Although it’s not a legal requirement to wear a skateboard helmet in NZ, this is your most important piece of kit and we don’t recommend riding without one. Falling in skating is all part of the learning process, but without a helmet, your head is at risk of serious injury and some nasty scars.

We stock skate helmets in NZ that are tested for their effectiveness, strength and durability, but don’t compromise on lightness. Brands like Pro-Tec have developed helmets with all the safety features you need for a comfortable ride, in a range of designs and colourways to suit your style. Made for all ages and ability levels.

Knee and elbow pads, NZ

Your knees and elbows bear the brunt of concrete when you take a fall. Look after your limbs with sets of knee and elbow pads in NZ, as well as wrist support that’s paramount in limiting the outcome of a fall.

This is essential skate protective gear for all skaters, including beginners and more aggressive riders. Reduce the risk of injuries and scrapes so you don’t have to hold anything back when you’re taking on a new challenge.

Clothes & accessories for NZ’s skaters

As well as selling an extensive range of skateboard protective gear in NZ, we’ve also got the pieces to protect your street cred. Freeride Surf & Skate stocks the brands you love to ride in, and we’ve got shorts, socks and hats for men, women and kids who would rather be on four wheels.

You already know how important footwear is on the board, and we’ve got skate shoes that are comfortable to ride in, but also look great when you step off. Wear the biggest icons on the skate scene, including DC, Globe, New Balance and Vans.
