Our VisionMaking the World a Better Place through Surfing

RECOGNITION HAS BEEN ACHIEVED, IT’S BEEN OUR MISSION AND A JOURNEY NOW WE NEED A NEW VISION TO DRIVE FORWARD AND CHANGE THE WORLD

WE EXIST IN A COMPLEX SURFING WORLD. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE AREAS WHERE WE ARE THE DISTINCT LEAD.

TO INSPIRE SURFERS TO BECOME MEMBERS OUR VISION AND OUR MESSAGE MUST BE TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

WE MUST ENSURE OUR GOVERNING BOARD IS SKILLED, REFRESHED, REPRESENTATIVE, ENERGETIC AND VISIONARY

WE MUST VALUE AND EMPOWER OUR STAFF, INCREASE CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY THROUGH RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING

A FULLY STAFFED, VIBRANT AND HAPPY HEAD OFFICE: TEAMWORK AND MUTUAL SUPPORT

OUTREACH TO OUR SURF SCHOOLS TO DEVELOP SHARED PROGRAMMES THAT WILL BENEFIT BOTH PARTIES

AND TO OUR CLUBS

ESPECIALLY OUR UNIVERSITY CLUBS

ABOVE ALL ELSE WE NEED TO BE INCLUSIVE

BECAUSE MORE INCLUSION IN SURFING OFFERS REAL BENEFITS TO REAL PEOPLE’S LIVES

PEOPLE LIKE CHARLOTTE

INCLUSION MEANS MAKING SURFING LESS INTIMIDATING AND MORE WELCOMING TO ALL UNDER REPRESENTED GROUPS

MORE WELCOMING AND LESS INTIMIDATING TO WOMEN & GIRLS

TO CHALLENGE THE REALITY THAT THIS IS STILL A RARE SIGHT ON THE SURF BEACHES OF ENGLAND

PROGRAMMES SUCH AS OUR JUNIOR SURFER SCHEME CAN BE ROLLED OUT INTO SCHOOLS AND COLLEGESAND WE CAN DEVELOP THE SAME PROGRESSION PATHWAY FOR ADULTS

OUR ROLE MODELS CAN INSPIRE THROUGH NATIONAL TEAMS & EVENTS: MORE FUNDING ACROSS MORE DIVISIONS TO PROVIDE WORLD CLASS PERFORMANCE

AS NGB WE CAN MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE THROUGH SURFING
