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. :)

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.

Like a cross between surfing and skateboarding, but 10 times as kickass, longboarding involves a long board from 30' to 49' long, on average. Longboarding down big hills can put you at 50 MPH, and falling will be really bloody. Carving is the main movement in longboarding, and involves leaning to turn and slow down while bombing a hill.
Im goin skateboarding after school. you in?

A surfboard from 8 to 12 feet, though it can go bigger. Easy to catch waves on, though waves over 9 feet it gets a bit nasty.
Easy to paddle, too.
