Muslim Female Skate Crew

A global community of Muslim female leaders across the board.

ABOUT US

Welcome to Skater Uktis, an organisation that merges the worlds of Islam and skateboarding to foster personal development and cultivate exceptional leaders. We believe that by combining the teachings of Islam with the art of skateboarding, we can empower individuals to reach new heights and positively impact their communities.

At Skater Uktis, we recognize that personal growth is a continuous journey. Our unique approach integrates the values and principles of Islam into the skateboarding experience. Through this synergy, we strive to create a transformative environment where individuals can not only excel in their skateboarding skills but also develop their character, spirituality, and leadership abilities.

We firmly believe that skateboarding provides more than just a thrilling physical activity. It serves as a platform for self-expression, resilience, and personal growth. By embracing the challenges and triumphs on the skateboard, our members learn valuable life lessons, such as perseverance, determination, and the importance of pushing beyond their comfort zones.

Our organisation is deeply rooted in the teachings and values of Islam. We emphasize the spiritual and moral aspects of the faith, utilizing its rich teachings as a guiding compass for personal development and ethical leadership. Through the integration of Islamic principles, we aim to nurture individuals not only on their skateboarding journey but also to help embody the qualities of compassion, integrity, and social responsibility as inspired by the teachings of our final Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
