The Longboardarian Podcast
The Longboardarian Podcast objective and mission is to have conversations with the personalities of our longboarding/surf culture. My guests will be the surfers, surfboard shapers, organizers and historians who through their experiences and knowledge have interesting and important opinions and facts about our sport/lifestyle and culture. I feel like many of these conversations will have important historical value as time goes. It's part of surf history!

Tory Gilkerson- The Steward at the WSL LB Tour Judges Tower.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Tory Gilkerson is an important part of the longboard world- not just as a former LB World Champ but as the person, as a head judge in the WSL LB Tour, defining and assisting with the application of the "style, flow and grace" criteria that has revitalized the art/sport of pro longboarding in the world's biggest stage.
Have you ever wondered why one wave gets a 6.5 while another gets an 8.0? On this episode she explains her process for maximizing fairness and accuracy and how the panel stays consistent in the different types of wave conditions.
From the morning briefings to the replay booth, learn exactly what the judges are looking for and how they "scale" a heat to ensure the best surfing wins.
It's a masterclass in the technical side of the Longboard Tour that fans and competitors will appreciate!
