Traveling in the Longboard world

2001
Longboard has been reflecting the freedom of a simple life since 2001.

Longboard was born from a shared passion for outdoor sports between ocean and mountain, van adventures and the sound of the waves looping in our ears in the south of France.

We adopt the attitude of the "engaged surfer".

Coming back from Hawaii, reality catches up with us, our oceans are completely polluted. It seems crucial to us to find ways to become "engaged surfers".
