Hawaii Longboard Surfing Association Logo T-Shirt Color:VINBLACK Double-needle stitched neckFounded in 1989, the Hawaiian Longboard Surfing Association (HLSA) hosted many longboard surfing contests that invited, and even celebrated, amateurs rather than just professionals.

HLSAs home base was at Ewa Beach in Oahu, Hawaii.
