Compassing

We are stoked to be working with Oregon Surf Shop and Leatherman Tools in conjunction with the 15th Annual Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic, to bring you the Oregon Coast Premiere of Cyrus Sutton's new movie: Compassing. Cyrus will be here to introduce the film, have a few beers, and answer questions. The movie will be shown Friday evening during the registration party and start at 7:00pm. The event will be located under the contest tent in the main Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot. The beer garden will be open, dinner will be available and live music to follow. Spread the word, invite your friends and family, the movie is free and the whole event is open to the public! See you at the Classic.....

“How would you describe the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic” is a question I get asked during interviews ahead of each year’s contest. The simple answer is to say that it’s a local surf contest put on by a dedicated group of volunteers. The truth is that the contest is something more than that. It has its own soul. It has a life that we and the organizers before us can’t take credit for. I would like to think we had something to do with it, but the reality is the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic has become something far beyond anything anyone ever imagined.

It's that time of year again, and we're opening registration for our 2025 Youth Surf Camps! Youth surf camps are open to kids ages 10 - 16 with some flexibility, and all levels are welcome!

Both cheers of support and loud laughter were heard throughout Pacific City this past weekend as surfers and spectators gathered on the beach to root on the participants in the annual Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic. This year marks the 25th running of the beloved community event.
Started in 1998 by Bob and Michelle Ledbetter, the contest has grown to become a staple of the NW surf community. It not only attracts surfers throughout Oregon, but this year saw people from Canada, California, Washington and even Hawaii make the pilgrimage.
