Never seen a point in hiding it. Growing up, kids in school who hardly knew me associated me with skateboarding. Not much has changed at my full time job now and it's had no negative impacts on my life. I won't go out of my way to bring it up to non skaters, but if people ask what I like to do, what my plans are after work etc., I'm not just gonna make something up. I skate whenever I have free time to, simple as that. Most people are open about their hobbies, so why shouldn't I be?
