longboarder
Extended board rider
A longboarder is someone who rides a longboard—either the extended skateboard designed for cruising and downhill riding, or the longer surfboard used for a smoother, more traditional surfing style.
Longboarders carved down the coastal highway at sunset.
The term distinguishes these riders from those on standard skateboards or shortboards.
