From 19 to 25 April, Surf City El Salvador will host the logging event of the year - the ISA World Longboard Championship 2024. No fewer than 129 athletes from 39 countries will be competing for the title against last year's Team Gold Medal winner, France.
Our two REBEL SURF ambassadors Ruby Knox and Tom Breen will be part of the Irish team. Both will be going all out to bring the gold medal to the island together with the other team surfers Wes Hannigan and Bea Greenberg.
Ruby and Tom will keep you up to date with information, stories and great photos in this blog. Don't miss the longboard event of the year and check the latest blog posts.
