Huntington Beach Longboard Classic 2025
July 26 - July 30
The Huntington Beach Longboard Classic is a longboard‑only contest held each summer on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier. Now a regular stop on the World Surf League Longboard Tour, it features separate men’s and women’s draws where competitors collect ranking points while demonstrating traditional footwork and noseriding. Spectators can watch free of charge from the pier or the sand, and the beach footprint remains smaller and more laid‑back than the nearby shortboard events.
The event window generally lands in early August, with heats running about 8 a.m.–5 p.m. across four days as part of the broader U.S. Open of Surfing festival. Shade is limited and parking around the pier fills quickly, so visitors are encouraged to arrive early, pack sun protection, and consider bikes or rideshare. Every heat is streamed live on the WSL website and app for those following from afar.
