This initiative was born with the aim of positioning the Atlantic coast (from Portugal, Spain, France, the United Kingdom and Ireland) as the main destination for quality surfing in Europe.

     

The project focused on :

• Tourism Promotion : To promote the variety and quality of world-class waves in the region, attracting responsible tourism.

• Networking : Facilitating the exchange of best practices, knowledge, and the creation of joint tourism products among surf towns in Europe.

• Sustainability : Raising awareness of the importance of conserving the marine environment and natural resources, aligning tourism and economic development with coastal protection.

    

The Surfing Europe project was fundamental in establishing the cooperation methodology that today underpins the WSCN network globally.
