This note is an output from a study commissioned by Natural England and the Marine Management Organisation to collate and update the evidence base on the significance of impacts from recreational activities. The significance of any impact on the Conservation Objectives for an MPA will depend on a range of site specific factors. This note is intended to provide an overview of the evidence base and is complementary to Natural England’s Conservation Advice and Advice on Operations which should be referred to when assessing potential impacts. This note relates to surfing. Other notes are available for other recreational activities, for details see Further information below. Surfing (boardsport without a sail) Definition Watersports using a board (without a kite or sail) to ride surf waves. The activity group includes surfing, bodyboarding and kneeboarding. This note does not include windsurfing or kite surfing which are covered in a separate note. Distribution of activity Surfing is undertaken in close inshore waters where oceanographic and meteorological conditions combine with the local physical conditions (seabed bathymetry and topography), to create the desirable wave conditions for surfing. Access is directly off the beach and hence the activity is not limited by any access infrastructure requirements.

  • SURFING SOUTH AFRICA LOCKDOWN APPEAL MAY 11Th
    PO BOX 127, RONDEBOSCH, 7701 – [email protected] APPEAL FOR CONSIDERATION OF SURFING AND OTHER OCEAN SPORTS TO BE PERMITTED AS EXERCISE UNDER LOCKDOWN PREAMBLE Surfing South Africa, the official representative of the sport of Surfing in South Africa, is a member of the South African Sports Council Olympic Committee (SASCOC) and the International Surfing Association and partners with the World Surf League (WSL). The following disciplines fall under the Surfing South Africa umbrella: Surfing, Longboard Surfing, Bodyboarding, Kneeboarding, Para Surfing (Disabled) and Stand Up Paddlesurfing (SUP) are recognised affiliates. It is estimated that there are over 20,000 competitive and recreational surfers (all disciplines) in South Africa. Surfing is an ocean sporting activity that is carried out on the waves. All ocean sports, by their very nature, are naturally self-distancing. They require a person to have an existing level of expertise in the ocean and have minimal environmental impact. Some examples of Ocean Sports are Surfing, Longboarding, Bodyboarding, Para Surfing, Stand Up Paddle Surfing, Kneeboarding, Waveski, Surf Ski, Canoeing and Kayaking. All of the sports mentioned above are non-motorised, self - propelled and use the dynamic energy of waves to assist movement. 1. MOTIVATION 1. Ocean sports are only practiced in the ocean and there are relatively few venues where this can take place. 2. Ocean sportsmen and women do not congregate in groups. 3. Ocean sports do not involve any physical contact. 4. Ocean sports pose a lower health risk than cycling or running as any body fluids such as perspiration or saliva are immediately diluted in the sea water.
