Try balance, harmony and nature for starters.
Surfing is part sport, part meditation and all working within, rather than against, nature. Winemaking? Pretty similar approach.

Both surfers and winemakers reach the summit of their respective crafts when they attain an understanding of, and a respect for, the environment in which they work (and play). Adapting to their surroundings, they achieve peak performance, on the waves and in the vineyards.

Longboard Vineyards was established in 1998 by a soul surfer who decided to leave the corporate winemaking world after making award-winning wines for others for 20 years.  We grow and process grapes from our own vineyards as well as make wines from grapes we purchase from our friends and neighbors.
