2013 Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic

We're certainly not trying to rush summer along, but we're also excited that it's time to start thinking about this year's Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic!

The dates are set for the weekend of September 20th, 21st, and 22nd, and you can sign up now. This event is for everyone--all age groups and abilities. As long as you're riding a 9' longboard, you can enter. There is also going to be a SUP division this year.

In addition to the actual surf competition, both Friday and Saturday nights we will have a dinner and bonfire, beer garden sponsored by Pacifico, and plenty of live music to get your dance on! Don't forget to check out our demo and vendor area to see new products and equipment from brands like Volcom, O'neill, Roxy, Surftech, Kialoa, Vans, Billabong, Dakine, and much more!!

This event is one of the best times for Oregon surfers to come together to celebrate our unique coast and culture. You really won't want to miss it.

“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.
