The Birth of a New Classic
The Toes In The Cove, Rincon Longboard Classic celebrates the rich heritage and culture of longboarding at Rincon Point, Carpinteria. Our vision is to bring together the top surfers in the 805, along with special pro invitees to this one-of-a-kind gathering at the fabled cove at Rincon Point, Santa Barbara.
Originally a fringe division in the annual Rincon Classic, the eclectic 805 longboard community has been calling out for their own event for years. Surf Happens, the producers of the Rincon Classic since 2001, have partnered with like-minded sponsors to bring this vision to life to create a longboard-only event at the Queen of the Coast. Toes In The Cove showcases a diversity of ages and categories honoring the tradition of old, and new school for one special day each year.
