Logging is not h/p longboarding

Post by Longygrom » Sat Dec 10, 2005 10:33 pm

Logging: the riding of heavily glassed single fin longboards shaped in a replica 1960's style


it isnt the riding of lightly glassed tri fin longboards shaped in a replica style of 1980's longboards, which are in shortboard style with a few extra feet.

The reason i am expressing this is that latley in the mags and various internet sites, they have been stating that 'loggers' are any longboarder the pros who even themselves oppose trad longboarding are offended by being called a 'logger'.

i agree strongly, logging is only referring to heavily glassed single fin longboards - i dont have any place for high performance longboards, no glide, no trim, just a thruster with an extra few feet ;)

As has already been stated who cares. Here's what I do on my long "thruster", "Malibu", "Log", "longboard". And ya know what I love it, have fun and don't really give a toss what you call it.

Im not having a dig at the different styles of surfing- just stating a fact which u dumb arses cant understand, exept for a few.

Its like saying a bodyboarder is a longboarder, which clearly is wrong

high performance is not loging...

nice pics, i just call it surfing i dont see why it has to have a name why not just do what u want to do and be happy with that, if u have to tell other people what it is or what your doing then there might be something wrong.

Its just a little hard when you are organising a comp - yeah we having a surfing comp. Shortboarders rock up, and youre like 'yeah its for long surfboards only'

or u say someone is a surfer in a mag or somethin, when they may bodyboard-it gives a false identification- common sense prevails here.

That 70/30 distribution for the judging sucks big ones :shock:

Even as a spectator at a Mal contest, I'd prefer to see solid stylish surfing over shortboard manoevres. Now it seems the powers that be are encouraging performance riding to the detriment of traditional style and that's a sad state of affairs.

i reckon its about time we set up our own club longy, do we have enough numbers on the northern beaches to start a loggin club?

on a seperate note, I've decided after years of getting farely reasonable results on my heavy single fin in contests that this year I'm gonna try the HP approach and see how i go, My new Sean Wilde contest mal should be ready very soon.
