In 2008, more than 350 competitors, and their families, enjoyed the rural setting of Church Beach, which is home to one of the premier point breaks in California. The contest showcased a combination of traditional longboard styles along with newer more progressive moves. The Gathering of the Tribes sets the tone for the coming year of club competitions. “We are excited to host the beginning of the 2009 coalition club series and we’re looking forward to this year’s competition,” said Jack Sutter, president of the Doheny club.
The Coalition of Surfing Clubs (CSC) is an international organization that represents the interests of surfing clubs throughout California and the world. It acts as a united voice to address issues related to coastal water quality, beach access, development, and legislative policy. The Coalition represents more than 10,000 surfers, of all ages, and exists for the betterment of the citizenship of the surfer, to improve clean water locally and globally and to promote the sport of surfing.
The Doheny Longboard Surfing Association (DLSA) is an organization comprised of individuals dedicated to the enjoyment of board surfing in a clean and natural environment. In relation to that philosophy, the DLSA acts as a support group to other organizations with similar views and objectives.

It's funny, as soon as we heard President-elect Obama grew up in Hawaii, we all started asking, "I wonder if he surfs?" Well at least he body surfs, and looking pretty good we might add.

Daize Goodwin's 1999
World Championship board
"In 1999, a women's longboard world title contest went down in Costa Rica. It was the first since the '60s, and believe it or not, I had no idea. I had gone down there with a few shortboards thinking I'd just surf on the side while my boyfriend at the time did the men's event. Everyone was egging me on and saying I should enter it for fun. Josh Baxter let me borrow this board and somehow I ended up taking the title. I still have to pinch myself in disbelief that I've been able to get two world titles." -Daize (Shayne) Goodwin, September 24, 2008
