Who We Are
Esa Map
The European Skateboard Association (ESA) European Skateboarding is a scene, which is gathered from all different countries with all different languages and manners- always united through skateboarding. In the last decades the exchange between the European skateboarders was growing so enormous, that meanwhile most of the skateboarders feel like home everywhere in Europe. There is a European progress of coherence beyond the national borders. Primary planed as a loose community of several national skateboard activists, the European Skateboard Association found its base as a formal association consisting of skateboard federations from all over Europe. The European Skateboard Association (ESA) was formally founded on September 9th, 2004 in Berlin, Germany.
