About:

 

Association info: In 1994 Robert 'Minnow' Green was asked to run a Prestigious Longboard only 2 day event for Oxbow to coincide with the launch of the clothing brand in Europe to be held at Fistral beach, Newquay.
The contest attracted some important names to Britain’s shores with surfing professionals Nat Young and his son Beau from Australia plus Joel Tudor and Duane Desoto from Hawaii in attendance.
Following the event a number of British Longboarders felt it would be a beneficial step for the sport to have more events like it, so in 1995 we worked on how to produce a tour. In 1996 the British Longboard Union was launched with backing from Oxbow U.K.

Twenty years on, the B.L.U Tour continues to grow with surfers competing from the Channel Isles, wales and Scotland alongside our English loggers.
Longboarding continues to evolve due to a large resurgence of interest & through the inclusion of progressive surfing combined with traditional nose-riding disciplines.

What's up

The Porthmeor Longboard Classic 2022 The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word ‘surfable’ as, quite simply, ‘being suitable for surfing’. Here at the BLU, our much more empirical definition is to chuck the frothy groms in to see if they can catch waves, before deciding whether to bin the whole thing and go to the pub. Thanks to the youthful dedication of the U16 Cadets, and in spite of all the laws of physics, man and the heavens and a blind refusal to accept defeat, we had us a Porthmeor Longboard Classic 2022!
