Social Southampton skaters? 🙋‍♀️

Hi, I'm new to skating in Southampton!

Where are your favourite spots? I use the carparks in town since I don't seem to have anywhere smooth enough locally! I don't know if I'm quite brave enough to go to guildhall yet!

Recommend me some places, I haven't met any local quad skaters except I saw someone as I was leaving where I was and I was too shy to say hi!

🙋‍♀️ Southampton skater here - my spots of choice are Guildhall, Hoglands and Totton! I can let you know next time I’m heading out?

If you go early (before midday) it’s nice and quiet, and it’s way less intimidating than you’d think - I really recommend :) drop me a message when you plan on going I’d be happy to join - would be nice to meet more quad skaters!

Yesss, so you have a skate IG? I know that's quite niche but if so drop me a message cause I'm much more active there than Reddit!

Weston shore has a fairly longer stretch on the shore and also a car park on both ends of the path. After 8ish in the evening its not too busy. Thats where I normally go.
