Man, is it great to give credit where credit is due. Alliance for a Living Ocean just did a bang-up job hosting the 8th Annual LBI Longboard Classic in Ship Bottom. This was probably the best event in this contest’s eight-year history. Thinking back, it’s almost hard to remember that these kinds of things didn’t happen on LBI10 years ago. It happened in Manasquan. It happened every weekend in Ocean City. But not here.

On LBI, shortboarders rode shortboards. Longboarders rode longboards. Harvey Cedars surfers stayed on the North End.
