The industry’s second ever Summit to accelerate the future of surfing outside the ocean. As we see it, the vision is clear: build authentic, sustainable and profitable surf experiences to grow the surf industry and provide the mental, physical and emotional stoke of surfing to those that do not have access to the ocean.
