Will Old School Long Boarding Ever Make A Comeback?

Question

You know, standing in a pose riding all the way in? Or is hot dogging the only way to go no?.

Answer 3

Never died. Competitive surfing leans towards the most extreme and exciting... most people still longboard.

Answer 4

Longboarding is still alive. It's the foundation for surfing. It will never die. I am a 14 yearold and i like the 60's longboard surf style vibe, my friends liekmthe rocker punk side of surf. LOngboarding is greatt i have friends that do it.

Answer 5

I don't think it's dead.  In fact if you watch a long board contest even the guys who are more "new school" still do a lot of old school maneuvers.  

Even though my longboard is more of a new school shape I prefer the fluidity of old school moves as opposed to trying throw my board around like its a short board.  Still can't do a drop knee turn though :-(

Answer 6

I live in Hawaii, I surf both South and North shore on longboards. I have about 6 different boards for different riding styles ranging from a 7'6" gun for bigger days, to a 10' board single fin.  I love "The Cat" moves from the 60s and do those types of moves On small days on the south shore, AND on 3'-5' (hawaiian) up at Lani's on the Nprth shore.  so yes lonboards are not just for "ankle snappers" watch a video of some of the 12' guns used at Waimea Bay.  Typically I go out on a solid 5' day up North with a 9'0 riding the nose into some of the most dramatic waves (and wipeouts) you can imagine!

Answer 7

Longboarding is NOT only for small waves unless you are a shortboarder who can't surf small waves. Especially in Hawaii, take a look at Bonga, Joey + friends, they are out at Pipe on their longboards when most of your shortboarders are too scared to even sit on the sand and watch.

Answer 8

It is still alive and going, I know the people I surf with still do it. Longboarding is still alive.

Answer 9

good surfing is always in style
