Vincent Duvignac featured on the event poster About the ISA World Surfing Games These are the world championships of surfing nations, which have been organized by the ISA since 1964. The World Surfing Championships from 1964 to 1986, they were called the World Surfing Titles in 1988, the World Surfing Championships again from 1990 to 1992, the World Amateur Titles in 1994, and the World Surfing Games since 1996. They were biennial at first, and have been annual since 2008. Until 2010, the ISA World Surfing Games included other related disciplines such as longboarding, bodyboarding and kneeboarding, as well as the junior category (until 2003). The ISA World Surfing Games only include surfing in shortboarding. They are considered to be the Olympic Games of surfing. The gold, silver, bronze and copper medals are awarded; the athletes compete for the honor of representing their country and national colors. The athletes – four men and two women – are selected by their countries. This format is reminiscent of tennis’s Davis Cup. Peru is the official world champion. France finished 4th last time round in 2016, contested in Costa Rica. About the ISA The International Surfing Association (ISA) is the only one recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the global administration authority for surfing. Established in 1964 as the International Surfing Federation (ISF), it was renamed the ISA in 1976. It has organized the surfing world championships since 1964. The ISA is the worldwide governing authority for surfing and all of its disciplines, including bodyboarding, kneeboarding, longboarding, tandem, skimboarding, bodysurFIng, and stand up paddling. The ISA works to develop surfing in its member countries (101). Every year, the ISA organizes the world championships of nations for open surfing, junior surfing, masters’ surfing, stand up paddling, bodyboarding, and longboarding. On August 3, 2016, the International Olympic Committee decided to include five new disciplines – including surfing – at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo (Japan). This was a victory for the ISA, which had been requesting this since 1990. The president of the ISA is the Argentinian, Fernando Aguerre, elected in 1994. About the French Surfing Federation Established in 1964 in Biarritz, the French Federation of Surfing (FFS) is headquartered in Hossegor (department 40). Since 2005, it has been chaired by Jean-Luc Arassus, and headed by a governing board of 14 elected members. The FFS has received the delegation of authority from the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Community Life, in order to organize, develop and regulate (both in France and overseas) the practice of surfing and its associated disciplines. The FFS includes 80,000 members (18,000 federal members and 62,000 recreational members), divided into 200 metropolitan and overseas clubs. A third of FFS members are women. The FFS has 150 « French School of Surfing » certified organizations. It has organized the French surfing championships since 1965.

This note relates to surfing. Other notes are available for other recreational activities, for details see Further information below.
