Surfing New Zealand is updating their current strategic plan which runs through until the end of 2012 (2009 – 2012).
The current Surfing NZ strategy and mandate is very silent of aspects of surfing and surfbreak protection, they are neutral on the environment and reactive on any role the organisation could (or should) take in helping to protect our beaches and surfbreaks – this is you chance to comment and give feedback.
The consultation process has begun and you can provide feedback and input, particularly around Surfing NZ’s role in helping to protect NZ surfbreaks and surfing in general.
Here is a link to the short survey questionnaire:
Surfing New Zealand Strategic Plan Survey 2012
The survey takes as little as five minutes to complete depending on how many thoughts you wish to share with us. The survey includes multi choice and open ended questions along the lines of why people are attracted to surfing, the challenges for the sport as well as the challenges for Surfing New Zealand as a National Sporting Organisation and key areas of focus for the future.
