Longboard Classic Stuben

The Longboard Classic Stuben, aka ‚The Woodstock of Snowboarding’, is the world’s biggest longboard and old school snowboarding event!

If the LBC was a person, it would be about time to get a driving license. However, the youngest participants of the legendary snowboard festival are way too young to drive, and the oldest have been driving around for years. Luckily, the Longboard Classic is all about snowboarding and what all participants have in common: living and loving snowboarding. This is what will be celebrating once again in Stuben/Arlberg.

As always the race kicks off in a Le Mans mass start on Saturday, April 9, on the 2,408 meters high Albona ridge. Then everyone rushes down to the 1,001 meters of altitude to the village of Stuben. Advocates of the good old style compete in the Old School Class, complete with day-glo outfits and ancient boards, free- and soul riders ride their longboards – almost like big-wave surfers in the Master Class, and all others take part in the “No School Class”. The result and winners aren’t really important; it’s all about having fun snowboarding and spending the season ender among old friends. Sounds like a cliché? It’s reality: That’s what the LBC stands for!

There’s no need to register prior to the event, but it is nonetheless possible on the LBC Facebook page. The official registration takes place on the event day between 7.30 and 10.30 AM in the event tent in Stuben.
