longboarders
Extended board surfers
Longboarders are people who ride longboards—elongated skateboards designed for cruising, downhill racing, or carving rather than tricks.
The term applies both to skateboarders on longer decks and to surfers who prefer traditional longer surfboards over shortboards: Longboarders dominated the hill on weekends.
The culture tends toward a laid-back aesthetic.
