Spring is in the air! And with that it’s time for some changes and new beginnings:
“Swiss Surfing Association (SSA)” will from now on act under the name “Swiss Surfing”.
With that we also gave our Logo a little redesign.
The purpose for changing the name from Swiss Surfing Association to Swiss Surfing explains Benedek Sarkany, president of Swiss Surfing:
“There were various reasons for changing the name. But the most crucial one was, that we are in fact not an association but an umbrella organization. Similar to a federation we guide and provide information for regional surf clubs with the goal to grow and develop surfing in Switzerland on a highly professional and ethical level – similar to other established sports organizations such as Swiss Ski, Swiss Tennis or Swiss Volley ” explains Benedek Sarkany, President of Swiss Surfing.
Furthermore the organization wants to avoid confusion with the Skateboard Association SSA. In addition a short name is more suitable for social media and therefore increases the potential of reaching the target group.
