Billabong USA will sponsor the ISA World Games scheduled to be held in July 31st through August 8th 2009 in Costa
Rica where 49 member countries will be invited to compete as national teams.
I believe it is vital to provide a platform for these emerging surf regions stated Billabong's Vice President
Marketing, Graham Stapelberg. It is the only event of its kind where you get such a large representation of so
many different surf nations.
Traditionally the ISA holds the World Surfing Games every other year. It also organizes the ISA World Junior Surfing
Championships and sanctions a large number of competitions worldwide. By securing the Billabong sponsorship, the
World Surfing Games will now be held annually which is a huge boost for the ISA.
All three major ISA annual events (the World Junior, the World Surfing Games and the World Masters) award gold,
silver, bronze and copper championship medals in true Olympic spirit.
The ISA is the IOC recognized World governing body for surfing and all wave riding disciplines including bodyboard,
kneeboard, shortboard, longboard, skimboard, tandem, stand-up paddle and tow-in surfing. The ISA works for
surfing's development in member nations and the establishment of the sports in new regions around the world.
