100097 2805 Wondering 1 slideright Jul 26, 2016 2016-07-26T08:51:28-0400 Cruised our coast (Florida) last weekend during a very decent run of swell. I noticed longboarding, in particular traditional style (leash less, single fin, heavily glassed boards) never really took hold here. Then I thought of my travels along the eastern seaboard and noticed the same idea (exceptions noted). Yes, you will SEE longboards in the line up, but they are typically 2+1's squirrel finned tethered to a 50 year old man. One would assume that given the small nature of our waves, people would go bananas for it. Even here on the gulf coast where the waves barely crack chest high, the crowd will mainly consist of shortboards. Trend following, lack of knowledge? Just feeling like discussing.
