LOANER GEAR
Need to borrow skates to get started? NIRD may have limited temporary ‘loaner’ skates or safety gear for you to test out. Once enrolled with the program, please contact us with your street shoe size (please state if women’s or mens size). If we have them available, we’ll try to find temporary loaner skates & protective padding to try the class.
*** Please note: All loaner gear available is for skates, wristguards, elbow pads and kneepads only. All loaner items are for trial only, and dependant if we have sizes available. Gear is lent on a first come-first-serve basis per class. All skaters are expected to purchase their own gear as soon as they can.
