Longboarding is a way of life. When you longboard the earth stops spinning. Many people refer to it as a sport, but its life.
longboarding is gnarly.

Any surfboard that is more than 3' longer than the rider is defined as a Lonboard by the Hawaians.
HOWEVER - it is more the state of mind.
Longboarding is about the soul, expression and The Glide. Where shortboarders beat each other for the waves and perform aggresive moves to carve up the water, you will almost certainly find a longboarder behind them, contemplating their surroundings, taking in the view and with a huge grin on their face.
Add another longboarder and you have a friend with a common goal; glide, float, dance and shimy on the board using your board and your body together - swap stories of shortboarders scattering in your wake and the time you soul arched hanging ten for 20 seconds at Jeffries..
Longboarding is the original soul of original surf culture.

Man I was out the other day on my 10'4" longboard and the waves were 2' and clean - best waves I ever had - shortboarders couldn't catch 'em - have you ever seen a Longboader whinge that there is no surf?

A coasting vehicle, relativly close to a skateboard, but twice the size.
Manuvered with your body movements according to the direction in which you want to go.
Also,
extremely dangerous and extremely kickass. :)

Traditionally, a form of street surfing, originateing in california, see LBC or long boarding community, this also can mean long beach cali. this is not a coincidence. BUT longboards differ from shortboards in that they are designed for speed, smoothness and carving. Not major tricks and ollies. HOWEVER, Longboarding is more about the soul, like longboarding the surfboard, longboarders are almost always very laid back, chill, kind, and overall sick people. Riding a longboard is the ultimate form of freedom, and highly addicting.
Short boarder- Dude im soo f*ckin cool, i can ollie and shitt
longboarder- nice day bro, I just went out, bombed some hills, i hit 40 km on this one hill, then i did some cross steps and carves. wicked chill day dude.

A board originally meant to emulate the feeling of surfing on land. Typically longer than a normal skateboard, but not necessarily. Longboards are for people who want a smooth, chill ride. Also, they are fantastic means of transportation in urban areas where bikes are inconvenient and commonly get stolen. They are far superior to normal skateboards, which offer much less control and a much bumpier ride.
Skateboarder: Dude, just pulled some kickflip 720 grind spins back at the park on my skateboard.
Longboarder: That's very nice man. I just enjoyed the warm rays and calming breeze on the way over here on my longboard.

A board made of multiple plys of many kinds of wood, it has wide trucks and big wheels. The Longboard will put all eyes on you. People will be brought to their knees from sheer awesomeness. You will wake up and be recognized as a God/Goddess. To ride the Longboard is to rule the World.
You: So yeah I was riding to work on my Longboard when-
Friends: What!? Oh My God. You have a Longboard! I wish I was as amazing as you. You complete this world, my king! *Friend weeps*
