After more than a decade away, the European Surfing Federation (ESF) is proud to announce the rebirth of the European Tour of Longboard (ETL) in 2025. A true benchmark for European longboarding in the 2000s, the circuit is returning to write a new chapter in its history and inspire a new generation of longboarders.

Longboarding in the international spotlight
With longboarding aiming to join the Olympic Games program, it is stronger than ever.
Despite a bid supported by the International Surfing Association (ISA), longboarding was not included in the official program for the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
The return of the European Tour Longboard supports the visibility and recognition of this elegant and demanding discipline in Europe and on the world stage.
This revival aims to develop and promote the practice of longboarding on the continent, building on its heritage while injecting a modern, egalitarian, and inclusive dynamic.
βThe return of the European Tour of Longboard is a true renaissance for European longboarding. We look forward to seeing the elegance, style, and passion of the best European riders, both women and men, in this new chapter.β
