IRISH SURFING ASSOCIATION

The Irish Surfing Association is the National Governing Body for the sport of surfing in the thirty two counties of Ireland.

We are a voluntary organisation comprising of approximately twenty clubs and groups involved in the development, representation and regulation of surfing in Ireland. Representing surfing in many forms (shortboarding, longboarding, bodyboarding, kneeboarding, standup paddle surfing, skimboarding, body surfing and tow surfing) we are active in areas such as club development, training of coaches and judges, surf school approval, national and international competition, promotion of safety and protection of our surfing environment.

The Irish Surfing Association is managed by an executive committee comprising of one representative from each of our member clubs. Our headquarters are located at Easkey Surf And Information Centre where we employ one full time development officer and one part time administrator.

We are a member for the International Surfing Association (World Governing Body) and the European Surfing Federation (European Governing Body) and are recognised by the Irish Sports Council and the Olympic Council of Ireland.
