The Virginia Longboard Federation (VLF), a 501 C3 non profit organization that aids the community through surfing endeavors. The VLF was started in 2001 in Va Beach, VA.
The VLF was created to help the local community and to support the sport of longboarding- the original board sport. Now, the VLF has grown and we have been hosting the Steel Pier Classic at First Street for 9 years. We are a non-profit organization that donates all of our profits to various charities in the Hampton Roads Area.

The VLF gets together every Memorial Day Weekend at the best surfing destination in Virginia Beach, affectionately known as The Jetty to promote the art of surfing. Through the efforts of this organization, The VLF has generated a dynamic surfing contest that is a fun, family atmosphere for people to enjoy from all over the country. The name of the contest is derived from the Virginia Beach Steel Pier, which was located at the Va. Beach Oceanfront's very own First Street, circa the 1960's. Historical references indicate that the roots of East Coast surfing were born at our very own Steel Pier, in Virginia Beach.

We have several unique divisions, including Pro Men's shortboard and longboard. We also have Women's Pro longboard. Then there is the 225+ division, Noseriding, Tandem, Retro longboard, bodyboard, plus all longboard & shortboard age divisions. The VLF is also partners in education with PA High School, and we host a student art show on the beach.
