Special activities
City Tour
Explore Cologne
As a special activity, we’ll take a city ride through the heart of Cologne. Our route follows the Rhine, offering plenty of smooth paths that are perfect for longboarding. We’ll wrap up the tour at one of Cologne’s traditional breweries, where you can enjoy a refreshing Kölsch or a non-alcoholic drink.
You might wonder — why is this considered a training session? Because cruising from A to B is a key part of longboarding. It’s the best way to build confidence, get comfortable on your board, and learn to navigate real-life obstacles such as pavements, pedestrians, and cyclists. Plus, it’s a fun and unique way to experience the city from a different perspective.
Setup Workshop at Concrete Wave
Get to know your board
As a special activity, we’ll visit the local longboard shop Concrete Wave Skateshop, where we’ll walk you through all the components that make up a longboard. Many people find the variety of setups and gear overwhelming and don’t know where to begin — especially if you don’t yet own a board. This visit will give you a huge advantage.
At Concrete Wave, you’ll not only meet the friendly and knowledgeable shop team, but also get a clear overview of what’s out there. With one of the widest selections of longboard equipment in Europe, Concrete Wave is the perfect place to learn, explore, and get inspired.
Trainers
Deborah Keser
Longboard instructor
The longboard has been with me for almost half my life. I started longboard dancing quite early on and immediately fell in love with the sport. I had never before practised a sport that motivated me so much. So I started training several times a week and constantly expanding my repertoire of steps and tricks.
Today, the sport is an integral part of my life and I am infinitely grateful for that. Longboard dancing has brought many people into my life whom I would not want to be without. In addition, I was able to gain great experience in various advertising jobs and started my own business in 2021.
It gives me enormous pleasure to pass on my knowledge and experience to others. I celebrate every little success of the participants myself, because I know exactly how great that feeling is. It doesn’t matter whether the person is on the board for the first time or has been doing it for a long time.
Longboarding is not only a practical way to get around, it also builds self-confidence, promotes body awareness and sharpens your eye for the small successes in life. I am very much looking forward to passing on this joy to you.
Ronja Lamberti
Yoga Teacher & Longboard instructor
Ronja lives and works in Berlin. She never would have thought that a random video would turn her life upside down. In May 2021, she saw this one clip – a board, beautiful movements, a little bit of magic – and suddenly thought to herself: Why have I never stood on one of these things before? No sooner said than done. She grabbed her first board as a second hand board… which turned out to be quite a disaster.
By time she really found her flow at Tempelhofer Feld. The bumpy start turned into a clear focus: longboard dancing. And above all, pirouettes – the more turns, the better. Ronja has an eye for aesthetics and moves on the board as if it were an extension of herself: dance-like, soft, but with precision.
