LOGGER RULES

As Longboarding evolves, we seem to be heading in the direction where it all began, back to the log. Log’s nowadays however are not just the unrefined piece of redwood they once used to be. It’s true, they are defined by particular specifications though there are so many variations within this. From the traditional 60s style shape with wide hips and pinched rails to progressive logs with tail lift and concaves, we stock them all and can custom make them to suit your every need.

If you’re looking at competing in any logging events in Australia your log needs to meet the below specifications provided by Surfing Australia. We found it a little hard to track down the 2020 criteria so here it is plain and simple, from page 48 of the Surfing Australia rule book.
