FAQs

Who is this bundle for?

We call Kassia Meador's Definitive Guide to Longboarding the end-all, be-all digital course for longboarding. If you've just started or you've been surfing for a while and you want to truly understand everything from the fundamentals of fin selection and placement, board selection, proper surf etiquette, and getting into the lineup all the way to hanging five, ten, and heels, then this is the course for you. It's exhaustive. Even advanced surfers can take away new lessons and techniques from Kassia.

Leah Dawson's Guide to Alternative Surf Craft, meanwhile, digs a little deeper into the intricacies and the nuances that lie within different shapes. In her own words, the course can help any surfer — from their first year riding waves to their 20th — break out of plateaus by exploring new ways to ride a wave and new experiences to have through diverse board selection.

No stone is left unturned between these two. So, to make a long story shore, this bundle is for everyone.

Testimonials

Kassia is one of my all time favorite surfers, because she approaches a wave with a her own style and we've had so many rad sessions together all over the world. When I was a teenager Kassia took me in and invited me on surf trips. and she was and still is one of the most stoked surfers I know. Kassia's stoke and generosity has always inspired me, and her surfing is a beautiful reflection of who she is.

Jen Smith, Two-Time World Longboarding Champion

Kassia is one of the realest, kindest, and most talented, yet incredibly down-to-earth surf pros/surf instructors I have been fortunate to know! I attended her trip to Costa Rica and will attend her next trip to Nica. She has become a friend and true inspiration on many fronts. Once you meet and get the benefit of spending time in the water and on land with Kassia, you will be a supporter and fan for life.

Jen Noonan, LA County Lifeguard

There is no surfer who has had greater influence on my own surfing and life than Kassia Meador. As a consummate learner, she is a true student of wave riding and of life, always looking for ways to evolve and grow, while staying true to her roots. Kassia's surfing is what made me understand the meaning of style. She truly has paved the way for women’s longboarding and alternative craft riding. She’s one of a kind.

About Leah Dawson

From Orlando, Florida, Leah Dawson started surfing longboards from an early age and loved riding shortboards every time the waves were big enough. But once she rode a single fin shortboard for the first time, she was hooked on a whole new aspect of surfing that she's become known for around the world.

"It really drove me towards wanting to explore surfing in ways that I didn't really see in magazines and in the modern surf movies," she says. That started a journey of collecting surfboards — anything she could get her hands on. "It's like fingerprints. They're all unique."
