Two Tribes Celebration

Two Tribes Celebration

What's not to like about surfboards, motorcycles, and riding either one of them? Well...nothing. These two diverse cultures actually have more in common than it might seem. Each of these activities shape the passions, lifestyles, and worldviews of the people who participate in them. There's something about riding waves and bikes causes them to become an obsession to those who participate, and that can't be ignored.

Our friend Justin Coffey of Peanut Butter Coast, a blog about surfing in the Northwest, wants to bring these two groups together to mix these cultures and celebrate their similarities.

The second annual Two Tribes celebration - a custom motorcycle and classic surfboard show will take place next Friday, July 19th at the Piranha Shop in Seattle. They'll have an eclectic mix of boards and bikes, as well as beer and screen-printed posters for sale (the proceeds of which will go to Warm Current).

“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.
