ABOUT us
Hi! We are Juliette (Jubes) and Amalia (Billy) Pelchat from the Real Wild Kittens. We started as a girls snowboard group named after our dad’s snowboard crew the WILDCATS.
Growing up, people always called us the kittens and we didn’t mind because we had big dreams to go along with the big footsteps we were following.We had a goal to start girls skateboarding lessons in Whistler, and alongside our great friend, Maggie Crompton, we launched RWK Skateboarding Camps in 2020.
Our mission is to promote female skaters and help provide a safe environment for girls to learn and progress within the sport. Skateboarding is an intimidating activity, especially for beginners entering a male dominant sport, and we are here to create an inviting space where anyone can learn to shred (that means skateboard and snowboard).

Hi! I’m Takaya. I started skating years ago with the RWK crew and am now studying Graphic Communication Design with a minor in Moving Image at Central Saint Martins in London, UK. I try to sneak back to Whistler as much as possible to skate, bike, and ski. I’m grateful for the chance to watch these amazing girls shred and am excited to grow creatively alongside this organization and the sports I’m passionate about.
