“Not too many people step up and do rad shit for longboarding,” says CJ Nelson. “Etnies is gonna give back to longboard culture.” If you’re an up-and-coming longboarder or surf filmer interested in getting some exposure, cash, and maybe even a CJ Nelson surfboard, you’re gonna want to keep reading, or click play on the video above.

As you might have heard, longboarding icon CJ Nelson just teamed up with his favorite skate shoe brand, etnies, and to kick things off they’re announcing a summer longboarding contest that could land you and your filmer a thousand dollars each and a year-long sponsorship with etnies with the potential for more.
The contest runs from now until September 5, so you’ve got all summer to nab some rides and put together a video. When it’s ready, post it to social with the hashtag #etniesspeedpowerflow, follow and tag etnies and CJ_Nelson, and you’re in the running. The criteria? “Speed, power and flow,” says CJ. “Well-structured, in the pocket, powerful, beautiful, traditional longboard surfing… Out of the pocket noseriding need not apply.”
To keep up with etnies and CJ as their rad new contest unfolds this summer, learn more at their website, and give them a follow on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
