- Meet The Duct Tape’s New Wave
First-time VANS Duct Tape competitors Nico Garcia, Zack Flores, Levi Prairie, Kai Takayama, Saxon Wilson and Nathan Sadoun are the next generation of world-class loggers
Nearly a decade and a half since the release of Thomas Campbell's seminal 2004 movie “The Seedling,” which starred Joel Tudor, and others from the era's emerging Southern California underground longboard scene, the film stands out as a watershed event for surfing, as it reintroduced and augmented the style, performance, equipment, and vibrant culture of surfing's past and kickstarted a cultural shift that has reverberated around the globe, influencing surfers from California to Australia to Indonesia to Japan, all the way to the small, insular, surf-crazed town of Zarautz in the Spanish Basque country, where hundreds came out to watch 16 of the world’s best loggers compete in the Duct Tape Invitational.
And while “The Seedling" and Campbell's follow-up "Sprout" may have been the spark, Tudor's traveling log-centric exhibition, the Van's Duct Tape Invitational and Duct Tape Festival have continued to stoke the fire, influencing a whole new generation of idiosyncratic longboard stylists, many of whom were invited to the event's most recent iteration in Zarautz.
"I feel safe with these guys," Tudor said of the new crop, an international contingent of mostly teens that included Frenchman Nathan Sadoun (19), Californian Zack Flores (17), Floridian Saxon Wilson (17), and Spain's own Nico Garcia (14). "The seed has been planted. This next generation of kids validated that. Now I can work on being on old man."
"I always thought [the Duct Tape Invitational] was so cool. I never thought I'd get in," said Flores, who aside from displaying enlightened switch-stance steeze, was one of several competitors from the next gen who shapes his own boards. "I first saw it on the Duct-umentary. I watched it like a million times."
Peep the video above to meet a contemporary assortment of longboarders, pushing the boundaries of the classic approach to surfing.

Such a inspirational video so motivated so rad!!! Great vid.
Where is Colapinto? He is one of the best out there!
Dane Reynolds "There are only so many good longboarders and they're all pretty much here".
What a douchebag statement. Guarantee you will find at least a handful or more who shred just as hard or even harder at "the point" in San O' any given day.
как я сюда попал????
Staring down at a wave, never appealed to me and watching nose rides for 60 years just wears on anyone’s mind right?Don’t be sad or mad longboard dudes. Do what makes u happy. Using a log for exercise will eventually happen when inconsistent surf seasons take their toll on anti longboard guys like me.
Where are the women and girls!!!???! Not a single female surfer?? Seriously? What century is this?
Yeah Kelia Moniz would be styling on those waves!
Great vid, but some of these guys still act like wanna be’s, must not have had enough attention growing up (not all, but the guy with the guitar.........)
Trust in Jesus he died for your sins, believe the gospel. Repent!!! If you do sin confess your sins, ask him to help you overcome your sins he will. Obey Jesus, live by his teachings, be led by the Holy Spirit. The Lord is coming soon you must live by his teachings. The love of God is beyond our understanding.//
Shame on you Duct Tape.
uhh... Why?
No offense to anyone, to each his own, etc. but I hate longboards; they're always f'n up the program in the lineup.
has a weight been lifted off your shoulders now that you have shared that with everyone?
Isn't longboarding how surfing started? Technically you f**ked the line up

Uuuuuuuhh I mean longboarders do have priority most of the time. If it weren’t for longboards you wouldn’t be surfing buddy boiii
