Longboard Clinic Mission

Since ancient times the noble Polynesian art of surfing has been presented to the newcomer by the tribal elders. From the skill and the spirit of humbly flowing with the pulsing rhythm of our oceans, to the surf lore - it was all passed on through the generations to novice surfers. This traditional system of knowledge transference was treated with the utmost reverence and respect; it was how surfers came to be as the centuries passed.

In more recent times surfing has become one of the world’s most popular pastimes. Yet in the frantic race to teach newcomers, the spirit, lore and foundational skill became diluted. The result is many frustrated surfers, endowed with raw talent, yet lacking the effective guidance to move forward and improve their wave knowledge and surfing skills. No one is to blame; it's just the way of the world. The pace of a contemporary lifestyle rarely affords us the time or space to develop as surfing elders.

Longboard Clinic's mission is to humbly pass on the key to gliding at the next level. From absolute novice to elite, we aim to enable our members to open themselves to the infinite possibilities that flow from increased surfing self- awareness. We strive to offer a deeper understanding of the inner workings of riding waves. We will give you your ultimate guide to the glide, covering where when and how. Longboard Clinic’s mission is to help unlock the door to the longboard elder within.

At Longboard Clinic It’s free because we love longboarding, and we figure when you love something, you’ve got to give it away to keep it.
