Every year Bricin Lyon, founder of Coast Longboarding holds one of the worlds largest skateboarding races. Originally introduced in 2001 with only a handful of riders and having only one supporter, Landyachtz Longboards, this event grew every year to become what it is today. This event also marks the beginning of the race season for the "Coasties". Bricin's efforts at growing Longboarding is by no means an understatement. Him and his followers strive every day to make it a community that is constantly excepting new riders and new faces at the events.
