Longboard Lab

In June, we were stoked to welcome two time ASP World Longboard champion, Beau Young from Australia to help run a Longboard Clinic, along with local legends, Dr.Malcolm Findlay, Ben Howie (no strangers to surf comps) and Luke Young, professional shaper with over twenty years of experience under his belt. The day started with a presentation on the history of longboarding, followed by some Q and A’s from the panel.

Beau led the in-water session and kept a close eye on our group, offering advice and tips on the fine art of nose riding and cross stepping. I’m not sure we had completely mastered our moves by the end of the day but we certainly came away inspired and fired up for next time! Thank you to all the team that day for their patience and commitment, to the gang at Simpel wetsuits and to the Bantham Estate.
