Thanks Everyone for a Fun Weekend!

The 14th annual Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic came together this weekend under clean waves and blue skies! All weekend long the swell produced big enough waves to have fun but not so big that it wasn't manageable. Many people put in an incredible amount of volunteer hours to make it happen, and we at Moment Surf Company want to thank them for all their efforts!

We would also like to thank all the surfers, sponsors, vendors, musicians, local businesses, and spectators that showed up. We were all rewarded with as nice of weather and waves as we could have hoped for. There was great surfing going on from sunrise to sunset, a wonderful vibe in the air, and good music and bonfires after dark.

I'll post more photos as I have time to go through them, and I'll even put together a little video clip sample (the official video will come later from Cody Cha, who made last years video.) I just got a few clips to practice shooting video instead of stills. Until then, I wanted to show a little sample of some photos that I shot.

We will also post final results shortly!

“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.
