SASL is not here to bestow legendary status on any past or present surfer. We define a legend as a past competitor or surfing enthusists who wants to give back to our great sport.

SASL is not here to meddle in the politics of the sports governing bodies. but rather to contribute to the competitive development of South African surfing.

SASL is not here to act as a fundraiser for our sports structures, but will assist if we are in a position to do so.

SASL has submitted their application to register South African Surfing Legends as a section 18(a) Non Profit company and their status at present is pending.
