Research
BE PART OF THE SCIENCE BEHIND SURFING
For this we need your cooperation and transparent access to your injury and accident record data (date and time, casualty demographics, type of injury sustained, severity, response management, debrief, post-incident risk analysis, remedial/risk mitigation measures) occurring in your venue from the commencement of operations. Our review process will compare this with data from our Global Injury and Accident Register, used by and open to thousands of water-sports enthusiasts to report their injury. At the conclusion of this process, venues fulfilling standards will be rated and approved.
An SMI recommendation and a coveted and prominent spot on our World Map positions your business centre-stage, reaching the global surf community with a clear message that your facility is committed to keeping the surfer healthy and safe
