25th Lavan Whalebone Longboard Classic 2024 | Day Two

After a sleepy start, day # 2 of the 25th Lavan Whalebone Longboard Classic benefitted from a new swell out of the north which provided some running rights, as competitors did their best to book a place in finals.
The Whalebone Classic was formed back in 1998 after local longboarder Peter Dunn, discovered a whale’s rib bone immersed in the surf at Cottesloe and decided to host a competition in memory of the whale’s spirit. Over the past quarter-century, the event has grown from a small gathering of passionate surfers into one of the premier longboarding events on the Australian surfing calendar. Renowned for its friendly atmosphere, high-caliber longboarding, and stunning location, the Lavan Whalebone Longboard Classic has attracted a record field in 2024 with over 150 competitors set to showcase their skills on the pristine waves of Cottesloe.
The Lavan Whalebone Longboard Classic combines a total of 14 divisions, with competitors ranging in age from 17 through to 75, displaying the diversity and popularity of longboarding in Western Australia. This year sees the inclusion of the Nose Rider division for the very first time, which will be judged purely by the amount of time spent on the nose of the longboard.
Surfing Western Australia is incredibly proud to reach the 25 year milestone and carry on the tradition of the Lavan Whalebone Longboard Classic established by Peter Dunn so many years ago.
