Mini Longboards

Mini Longboards

The Mini Longboard.

Another shape that is a blast to surf is the mini-longboard, or MLB, essentially a longboard with the middle cut out ranging in sizes from 7’0 to 8’0, and a great choice for small to head high conditions.

More maneuverable then a longboard and just as stable, these super paddlers easily catch the smallest of waves and can be ridden into the overhead range. A great choice for the lighter beginner, experienced gal surfers who don’t want to lug around a full longboard, or the ripper who wants all the fun of a longboard in a more compact package, we’ve chosen the highly rated and appropriately named Waterhog from Channel Islands to add to our quality selection of surfboards.

Stop in and check them out, and you’ll see why the Waterhog is so popular among MLB aficionados.

“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.
