The
Virginia Longboard Federation (VLF) is a charity organization that aids
the community through surfing endeavors. The VLF has joined together to
promote the art of longboard surfing, and to raise money for charity organizations
in need. The VLF has generated a dynamic surfing contest, The Steel Pier
Longboard Classic, that promotes a fun, family atmosphere for people from
all over the country. The name of the contest is derived from the Virginia
Beach Steel Pier, which was located at the Ocean Front’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First Street, circa the 1960’s. Historical references indicate that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. The surfing classic is comprised of a variety of events;
nose riding, retro surfboarding, amateur events, tandem, paddleboard and
even professional surfing divisions. A new event has been added for 2007,
we are proud to announce the addition of two new events, Open Retro Twin
Fin division and the Hawaiian Outrigger division. All of the events encompasses
the soul of longboarding and the heart of the community. It allows different
generations of surfers to come together, and allow the art of longboarding
to prosper to a higher level.
The main purpose of the Steel Pier Longboard Classic is to better the community. As an organization, we come together and help a local charity. Each year different charitable associations are reviewed for possible consideration for donation from our cause. This year, the VLF has chosen the “Noblemen" of Virginia Beach to aid in their quest to better the community. Their club is a men’s organization that raises money to benefit underprivileged children in the Tidewater area. In order to raise the maximum amount of money to help their cause, we need the pillars of our community to unite to help the less fortunate. We can complete this goal by having committed sponsors and volunteers.
