LONG BEACH ISLAND LONGBOARD CLASSIC SURF CONTEST
& ENVIRONMENTAL FAIR BEACH CONCERT

August 7th, 2010

The 2nd Annual LBI Longboard Classic will take place on Long Beach Island on August 7th, 2010 at the 110th Street surfing beach in Long Beach Township. The event is named the “Classic” because only vintage longboards will be allowed, and the contestants will be scored by classic contest criteria such as noserides, hanging ten, cheater fives, dropknee turns, fin first takeoffs, spinners, length of ride and cross-stepping style. No leashes, and no board modifications.

Surf Instrumental band the Diamondheads will be performing live during the contest, playing a retro mix of Dick Dale and Ventures songs with their own 1960’s era-inspired compositions.

ALO’s Environmental Fair will be a festival of local environmental organizations and “green- minded” companies such as the Surfrider Foundation, Clean Ocean Action, Save Barnegat Bay, and ReClam the Bay.

This event promises to be a bitchin’ good time for friends and family, whether you surf of not. Come out for “fun, sun, and stoke” and support a great cause!!!

Entry fee is $35 for pre-registration and $40 on the day of the event. There are a variety of levels of sponsorship and all proceeds benefit ALO.

Contest divisions will be: 15 and Under, Open Men, Open Women, Tandem, Paddleboard Race, Skimboard
