Rob Russo is as local as it gets, shaping in his shed right here on the central Oregon coast. He shapes boards specifically suited to our waves, knows what the locals like to surf, and even does all the ding repair here at the shop. Learn a little more about Rob in this profile video made by Tyler Cunningham of TJC Media, and check out the boards he has in the shop here!
“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!
