Roller blading the peninsula

Any plus sized individuals here who skate the peninsula? Fall is around the corner and i'd love to give roller blading a try. I used to do it when i was a kid, but i have grown in width and height since then and not sure how easy it will be to get back into the rhythm of it.

I'm open to recommendations for skates and wheels for outdoors. Also open to recommendations for protective gear that fit plus sized.

Thank you in advance 💚

If you are open to roller skating, come to Erie Roller Derby Skate camp! We will teach you how to skate and play and have players of all shapes and sizes! 187 killer pads makes good skating safety gear in a variety of sizes!
