About Us
Our Vision
At Extreme Sports Academy, we believe adventure is the ultimate teacher. It challenges, inspires, and empowers, unlocking the potential within every young athlete. Our mission is to provide a space where kids can thrive, mastering sports like skateboarding, parkour, and climbing while building the confidence, resilience, and teamwork skills that last a lifetime.
Through our progress logbook, we guide students to track their achievements, set meaningful goals, and reflect on their growth, both on and off the field. Safety and encouragement are at the core of everything we do, ensuring every experience is both exciting and empowering. By learning to embrace challenges and overcome obstacles, kids gain essential life skills like discipline, focus, and risk assessment.
But Extreme Sports Academy is about more than athletic development—it’s about community. We foster an environment where kids connect, support one another, and form lifelong friendships. From seasonal camps to team-building activities in the stunning surroundings of Sitges, we create moments that inspire and unite.
Our vision is to shape fearless, well-rounded individuals who approach life with courage, positivity, and a sense of adventure. By blending extreme sports with personal growth, we’re helping kids discover their best selves and prepare for the challenges ahead.
Our playground
At Extreme Sports Academy, we believe that respecting and preserving our environment is fundamental to the spirit of adventure. The landscapes we explore—whether beaches, parks, or urban skate spots—are our playgrounds, and protecting them is essential. We engage our students in meaningful conservation activities, like beach clean-ups and park restoration, teaching them to care for the spaces that fuel their passions. These hands-on efforts foster a deep appreciation for the natural world and the importance of environmental responsibility.
Sustainability is also about mindset. We encourage students to embrace creativity and resourcefulness, showing that you don’t need elaborate setups or costly gear to unlock adventure. Even within our team, calisthenics exemplifies the value of doing more with less, highlighting how simplicity can lead to incredible results.
By blending eco-conscious practices with the spirit of exploration, we inspire young athletes to become stewards of their environment—individuals who not only seek adventure but also ensure that future generations can do the same.
Meet the Team
Axel Sapera
Founder & Operations
Meet Axel, a 29-year-old adventurer driven by his passion for extreme sports. From the start, the thrill of adrenaline and pushing boundaries defined his journey.
Since age 11, skateboarding and snowboarding became his obsession. He quickly moved into competition, winning Spanish snowboarding championships and entering European contests. In Barcelona, he competed in skateboarding across streets and skateparks, winning local competitions and landing sponsorships from top brands like Santa Cruz.
A severe knee injury eventually forced him to step back from competitive snowboarding, but it didn’t stop his drive. Looking for new ways to challenge himself, he discovered skydiving, enduro, kitesurfing, wakeboarding, cliff jumping, and more.
For a while, Axel balanced his passion for extreme sports with a 9 to 5 marketing job at a global agency until he was ready to go all-in on his dream. Now, as the founder of Extreme Sports Academy, Axel is committed to sharing the life-changing impact of pushing limits with the world.
