Of course, longboarding has always been held in high regard and valued highly amongst those members of its tight-knit community, but a recent rise against the shortboard mentality-competitive surfing mindset has contributed to the reemergence of “fun boards” and a nostalgia for times past. Cue the Mexi-Log Fest.
