How to Become an ISA Member

The ISA encourages new, developing and existing organizations to apply for ISA recognition in order to bring the sport of surfing and its disciplines to a higher level within your country. Membership to the ISA, the World Governing Authority for Surfing recognized by the International Olympic Committee, IOC, will add essential value to surfing within your country, your association and its events and activities.  One of the ISA's many objectives is working towards the inclusion of surfing in the Olympic Games and other continental and multi-sports events.

The ISA requests each of its NGB’s to help in the development of surfing worldwide. Do you have contacts for surf organizations, surf shops or people interested in forming an NGB for surfing and other wave riding disciplines in a country not already an ISA Member Nation. The ISA would be grateful if you could take a moment to look through this list. If you have contacts in a nation not included in this list, please let the ISA know. The ISA wishes to establish contact with nations around the world in order to inform and guide them with information about the ISA, its goals and the importance of becoming an ISA member.

If you have any questions , please do not hesitate to contact the ISA Headquarters at surf@isasurf.org.

We look forward to bringing you into the ISA family For a Better Surfing Future!
