The Mission of the Santa Cruz Longboard Union is to preserve, promote and perpetuate the values, belief and essence of surfing.

 The Longboard Union continues it's spirit of community support by donating the proceeds of its Annual Memorial Day Invitational Surf Contest to local nonprofit organizations like Ride a Wave (RAW). RAW was founded in 1998 in Santa Cruz and is known for its mission to give children with special needs the chance to experience the fun and thrill of surfing. The SCLU provides volunteers at the numerous successful events that take place annually at Cowells Beach. For more information on Ride a Wave, go to www.rideawave.org.
