Surfing has always been a beautiful sport to watch, with the rhythmic motion of the waves and the graceful movements of the surfers as they glide across the water. But what if we told you that surfing could also be considered an art form, just like classical music?
That’s the idea behind our Black & White series, which marries surfing with classical music pieces. Our latest video, “Waltz of the Nose Riders,” captures the beauty of longboarding as skilled athletes cross step and walk to the nose of their boards. Filmed during the 1st ever Jen Smith Aloha Invitational near Tourmaline Surf Park in Pacific Beach, this footage features local legends of the longboarding world.
Competitors such as Cayden Bainqualls, Dane Perlee, Makala Smith, Mele Saili, Naomi Tialavea, Nico Espinoza, Richie Cravey, Ricky Cunningham, Summer Romero, Tessa Timmons, and Tom Flower showcase their talents as they gracefully navigate the waves. But it’s not just about the surfing itself. The addition of classical music creates a beautiful synergy between the two art forms, elevating the experience for the viewer.

Longboarding, in particular, is a style of surfing that emphasizes smooth, flowing movements and a more laid-back approach. It’s not about shredding waves or performing flashy tricks, but rather about appreciating the beauty of the ocean and the sport itself. And that’s exactly what “Waltz of the Nose Riders” captures.
At SLAW, we’re always looking for ways to showcase the beauty of surfing in new and innovative ways. By pairing it with classical music, we’re able to create something truly unique and special. So the next time you’re out in the water, take a moment to appreciate the artistry of the sport and the beauty of the waves. And if you’re looking for some inspiration, be sure to check out “Waltz of the Nose Riders” on our website.
