                   What does your name means?

                   We’re an international longboard community created in Madrid in 2010 with the aim of getting more                       girls & women into the sport.We started shooting videos that inspired women to start skating, showing                     them that we could do it, how accessible it was and how much fun we had. We promoted all the girls                       we knew through the Facebook fan page and asked them to send their photos and videos, even though most of them (and us) were beginners or had nothing close to a PRO level. We also did gatherings, Girls Meets and events (contests, freerides) to promote women in the scene. We named the active girls in different countries LGC Ambassadors so that they promote the LGC values in their countries, supporting and inspiring newcomers all around the world. We put female longoarding in the map, got some international media attention and thanks to all this work combined we started not only to gain recognition for women but most importantly, we got thousand of women into the sport around the world.

How long have you been skating together? How did everything start?

Longboard Girls Crew Indonesia itself started in 2013. 

Gemala Hanafiah, an Indonesian female pro surfer, played a major role in the formation of this crew. In August 2011, she and other fellow surfers tried longboard for the first time. After playing several times, they realized that surfing and longboarding are quite similar. They see longboarding can be an alternative activity for surfers who live in urban city and cannot go to the beach all the time.
