On a April 19th, I published an opinion piece on my Instagram/IGTV. I knew it could ruffle some feathers around our longboarding community but I did it anyways because that is what Longboardarian is all about, covering longboarding! There are many topics to visit and discuss. this particular subject is about pro longboarding. I chose to start a conversation on this particular because as an observer I feel like 2019 is bringing some interesting changes in the highest levels of PL. I would love to see the WSL and The Relik have success with their respective tours. On this episode I propose an idea for pro longboarding that in my opinion would assist in bridging the two main disciplines of competitive longboarding. I am not the best orator around so when I tried to put together a video with my proposal I feel like it may have been slightly misinterpreted. I was accused of  being divisive and misleading. All I wanted to do was start a conversation. I feel confident about my proposal for competitive pro longboarding and I welcome a respectful discussion about it. Here's my take two in presenting my idea. I hope you enjoy!

Jeff Belzer is a VC native and has been surfing and longboarding most of his life. He has seen and experienced the transitions and trends in California longboard culture. He has reached a very high level of world class longboard surfing. He has plenty to share as he allows me to pick on his brain on many topics all longboard related. He recently won the Hotdogger Championship held in October of 2018 where a large pool of California's finest longboarders showed up and displayed their repertoires. 

Jeff is a family man that divides his time between family, surfing and his realtor career where he is a part of the prestigious Sotheby's Realty Group. He also founded and operates the Mako Surf School and Camp where he passes along the aloha of surfing to hundreds of kids every year.

Enjoy,

In early January I met with Carla at her home in Thousand Oaks, California for a frank conversation on longboardings current status in the competitive arena as well as in the California surf community. We also talk about her beginnings in surfing, her experiences as a Malibu local and some of its longboarding history, surfing politics and more. She is a great interviewee as she ain't shy in articulating her opinions. 
Carla has a lot going on as she runs The Surf Institute where she runs different programs, retreats and workshops that enable, teach and improve individuals surfing. She also is a sought out coach and has worked with top names including surfing champion from Brazil Chloe Calmon.

This Brazilian World Champ was a great interviewee. He talks about his start in longboarding, first trips to Hawaii, the early days of professional competitive longbarding (ASP Tour) and the tour now (WSL). We talk briefly about Joel Tudor's days in the tour and even who would dominate between them two in a match up in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Lol. He shares some great stories and anecdotes. 
I interviewed him by Oldman's in San Onofre Beach, California. The sound of the crashing waves hamper a bit the sound quality so my apologies in advance. If you wanna learn more about Phil, check out his Instagram, Facebook or just Google the man!

See ya in da wata!

Longboardarian sits down with one of California's most respected longboarders, his name is Vince Felix. He has a long history within California's surf community and is recognized as one of the best longboard performers. He is a committed family man, entrepreneur, surfer, skater and rad dude overall.
On this episode we discuss his longboarding trajectory as a surfer and as a head judge where he has been sought out for his clear and consistent criteria for some of the most prominent longboarding events.

It was a pleasure sitting down with him at his family home and allow me to pick on his brain for some perspective, insights and opinions on longboarding and its status quo. Checkout his website where he and his hunny, artist extraordinaire Cynthia Polk, offer a wide range of art services, including body tattoo, screen printing and more. Check them out at!
