Wheels, Waves & Stoke
Here’s our story
Founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, it began simply with skate meetups. Women who always wanted to try to skate, but were perhaps a bit intimidated. What started on a skateboard for one woman, has moved to every board you can shred! We build community through wheels, wakes and waves with an emphasis on being brave and trying new things. We take a holistic approach on wellness that movement and community are foundational to a life well lived.
From beginner-friendly skate meetups to epic international retreats, we empower women to overcome fears, build confidence and live boldly on and off the board.
Whether you're learning to skate as an adult or an expert on a board, you came to the right place.
Whether it’s learning to skateboard at 40, or starting a business, we support the wild ones who are brave enough to go outside their comfort zones.
Even our #KeepHerWILD hashtag has moved so far past skating.
It is a marker of brave women creating a legacy of RAD: Really Awesome Days.
Behind The Founder Story
Megs Gelfgot
Learning to skate as an adult transformed my life.
What started in an empty parking lot and a whole lot of falling, evolved into tapping into depths of strength within myself I never knew I had. It helped me cope and fight through heart surgery, the death of a sister and settling for a life that was just ‘fine’. It was the bridge to create a community where women could overcome fear and chase stoke in a supportive rad girl environment.
Today, I spend my time as a keynote speaker for Fortune 500 companies covering the neuroscience of resilience. A passion project is giving workshops for those grieving the loss of a loved one.
I’m an Arizona girl, who now calls home Cincinnati. My husband, 2 wildlings and a bear pup are some of my favorite things. Off the board, More from my little corner of the world on Instagram
Be Brave. Stay Wild. Live RAD.
Holler at your girl.
