The 2023 Longboard Classic is taking over the beaches of Surf City in El Salvador this week. From September 19-25, El Sunzal Beach will host some of the top surfers in the region to honor and celebrate one of surfing’s most storied disciplines: longboarding. 

The Longboard Classic is a marquee event of the World Surf League (WSL). All told, the tour will visit four different international destinations: Australia, El Salvador, the United States and a fourth, yet-to-be confirmed venue.

There are 24 male and female athletes, including the top eight competitors of the 2022 Longboard Tour, 14 surfers selected from various WSL regions (with at least one qualifying event per region) and two wild cards.
