Why longboard?

It is the idea of Michael Jenkins, a proud surfer for hundreds of years (carbon dating) he had a dream (thought) at least 10 years back to introduce the idea of a standard length 10', 9' for Bali due to length restrictions on planes. Why Longboards? MJ can give the complete answer as I may be speaking out of turn.

Haha Mick yep a surfer for @60 years.
mmmm why longboards? Because back in the olden days of early sup having been a longboarder there was no real performance "longboard sups" available they were just big boards for the bigger crew so in short, the answer to the question why longboards? Well it's commonsense really, prone surfing has short and longboards so why not sup? Also included in the answer is I could see the potential to have standalone surfing events that included both sup styles so the future of the sup surfing sport is guaranteed. All the passion and work to establish a far reaching and successful longboard sup community over the years has meant the category is now represented at local clubs,at both State and National Titles and the movement is growing worldwide. .The APP World tour is including a World Title event series in the category too and we now have the Cosmic Experience longboard sup event in Bali where the worldwide longboard sup community come and surf together. Whoever would have thought a simple idea all those years ago could have produced so many benefits.
why the Longboard sup Revolution name? Back in the olden days, late 60's, there was a Shortboard revolution movement where the design of surfboards went long to short so the LSR is the opposite of that movement where now the longboard sup rules...
that's the short answer Mick:-)

So just clarifying there will or won't be short board SUP surfing at Bali

Comp is for only longboard sup style surfing Mick, judging criteria is 50% traditional 50% performance, board criteria is for 9ft plus strictly round nose longboards only.
