The Scottish Surfing Federation are delighted to announce the National Longboarding championships sponsored by finisterre to run at Pease Bay on the 27th/28th April 2024. The event also combines with the Lowland longboarding championship to welcome in our International friends.
We also thank sponsors Lost Shore and Verdant Leisure who are helping with prizes and Far Cabinet Makers for the new Longboard Trophies. We also like to thank Coast to Coast Surf School, Belhaven Surf Club and EBSC for organising the event and the full judging team that’s arriving from all over the UK, plus a massive thanks to beach lifeguards Martin and Owen for making themselves available for the event.
The Scottish National Longboard Championships and the Lowland Longboard Championship
The event will run with 6 longboard categories
- Scottish Longboarding Male division
- Scottish Longboarding Female division
- Scottish Longboarding Male Junior U18yrs division
- Scottish Longboarding Female Junior U18yrs division
- International Longboarding Male division
- International Longboarding Female division
You enter the Scottish divisions and this will run to conclusion with Scottish national 2024 champions decided in male, female and junior boy and girl divisions.
If you are International
You enter the International divisions and these will run to their respective final stage, but not run to conclusion.
Finalists combine from both the Scottish and International Divisions to surf off for Lowland Longboard 2024 title
Once the Scottish Finals are complete and the International finalists are decided in the adult divisions we combine the two to create two seeded Lowland semi finals (eg semi final one, seeded Scottish finalist 1, International finalist 2, Scottish finalist 3, International finalist 4). These semi finals will then run with top 2 from each heat going through to the “grand final” to create the 2024 Lowland Longboard champion.
