WORLD SURF CITIES NETWORK

A collaborative network among cities that have a strategy to develop surfing as a social and economic wealth-creating activity. Cities in America, Africa, Europe and Oceania share their knowledge and collaborate on Surfing initiatives.

ABOUT US

A surf city is an urban area where surf, the culture of surf and employment in industries related to the surf sector constitute a significant part of the economic, social and base of the city and where there is a surf industry formally recognised by the
administration of the city.

WHAT WE DO

The WSCN seeks to promote local economic activity (industry, tourism and local employment) through surf by sharing knowledge of ideas and cooperation in projects between surf cities. The Network is led by the city of Viana do Castelo (Presidency) in Europe and Arica (Vice Presidency) in South America, both with extensive experience in innovation management and international collaboration.

TAKING PART IN WSCN

The World Surf Cities Network is open to hosting new cities that want to become an international reference point through an evolutionary, transformative process thanks to the local development of surfing and its communities and public/private stakeholders. Further information please contact: WSCN PRESIDENCY 2023 | CITY OF VIANA DO CASTELO. Technical Secretariat | Surf Club Viana | joaozamith@surfingviana.com
