Longboard style masters

[Chilly Willy]

Who do you think has good style these days on a longboard? There's been a lot of love for Tudor and Knost (and others, I'm sure) in the past, just curious who is resonating with you all lately as someone surfing longboards stylishly. Not required, but feel free to explain what you like or dislike about how they're riding.

Corey Colapinto is one of my favorites for sure. I'm not sure how much of a household name he is but I love his style. @kookapinto on Instagram, lots of clips.

Jared Mell.

 

[Gretsch]

Worm.
She's been a favorite of mine for a while now.

I second Kookapinto. He makes surfing local waves look super fun.

 

[miscreant]

lately, I've seen some lines drawn on huge waves in Oregon and at Mavericks. The lines drawn seem to define the surfer.

made me think.

“Newer” names

Matt Chojnacki ( his poise and footwork is so buttery and beautiful)
Harrison roach
Kevin Skvarna
Veedster (Daveed Arganda)
Victoria Vergara is easy to watch too.

Hard to ignore these guys who still “have it”

Devon Howard
CJ
Tyler Warren
Tudor

Plus honourable mention to Dane Peterson who you never see footage of these days but is still one of the most stylish ever and was surfing in the more modern logging “involvement” style 20 years ago.

I just saw the Longboard Jose Cuervo World Surf League at the Surf Ranch.

Skvarna looked good and carries some weight deftly, gives us big boys some hope.

Lots of good names up there. Colapinto's surfing is inspiring

I'd like to add Dane Perlee. While I don't see much footage of him at present, every time I really like his style.

Being goofy and not particularly small in stature, I appreciate watching CJ and Tyler. I like Dane Perlee a lot too, but I guess these are not new names...

Toots is fun to watch and the Corey Colapinto/Tommy Witt tag team is a lot of fun to watch too

There's also a French guy called Clovis Donizetti who is nice to watch.

I don't think people need to surf a certain way, but it's great to watch those who have thrown a little of their own sauce into the mix.
