Easy Waves & Good Vibes: Longboard Courses at Our Surf House As Furnas

Longboard Surfing – Glide with Style, Learn with Confidence

Longboarding is more than just another way to surf – it’s a tribute to the roots of wave riding. With its smooth movements, relaxed posture, and focus on style and control, longboarding offers a truly unique surfing experience. Unlike the dynamic, fast-paced nature of shortboarding, longboarding is about harmony with the wave, balance, timing, and elegance. It requires patience, body awareness, and the ability to move smoothly and with control.

This original form of surfing is perfect for anyone looking to refine their technique and deepen their connection with the ocean.

If you already have some surfing experience, you can learn longboarding with us – through personalized coaching and high-quality boards.

Longboard vs. Shortboard – What to Expect from Longboarding

While both styles rely on the same element, longboarding and shortboarding differ in many ways. Shortboards are shorter, more agile, and designed for quick, radical maneuvers like cutbacks, snaps, or airs. Longboards, on the other hand, measuring 9 feet or more, offer a larger surface area for gliding and are ideal for slow, stylish maneuvers.

Longboarding teaches you to read the wave and move with it, rather than trying to conquer it. Signature longboard techniques include the Cross Step, where the surfer walks across the board with a graceful, crossing step, and the Noseride, where you ride at the very tip of the board.
