Ventura Surf Club

Surfing is not just a lifestyle... it’s a state of mind.

Video of the Week: The Beatnik 1280 720 Ventura Surf Club

“The Beatnik is quite simply a ‘no rules’ longboard. Drawing on elements of the past but infused with a progressive mentality that allows the surfer to dance to the beat of their own drum.

Years of riding traditional single fin longboards and an addiction to the elegant glide they produce had us curious as to where we can take longboard design beyond the conventional ‘log’ mentality. After many passionate experiments with Bob and Ben in the shaping bay, Bob lopped off 4” of foam from the tail of a fully shaped longboard and hyped up the board with a long panel vee and a groovy transom in the tail… enter the Beatnik!

This model provides a breath of fresh air for even the most meticulous longboard connoisseur or entry-level trimmer just tapping into their inner stoke… welcoming unconventional approaches and providing creative outlets which allow you to draw your own lines… or just trim!” – Matt Chojnacki

Video of the Week: The Severson Files #1

Video of the Week: The Severson Files #1 1280 720 Ventura Surf Club

From footage of a placid, glassy right point to shots of a big and rippled dirty old wedge, this random collection of surf clips captured by SURFER Magazine founder John Severson is an example of the scope in which he documented surfing. Not only fixated on the “hot doggers” of the time, Severson also focused his lens on crucial moments in surf culture. If you’ve never fantasized about hopping in a time machine and visiting surfing of decades past, then this assemblage of Severson’s clips probably will cause you to.
