Freesurf Federation — as an international collective of riders, coaches and industry professionals — has been invited by a major Hong Kong developer to advise on the governance of surfing across the city's beaches. The brief is broad: bring the grassroots into the room, work with the public and the surfers who actually use these breaks, and shape a framework where surf culture and the professional sport can coexist with the ocean as a public good.
Our position is simple. Access stays public. Local voices lead. Any new infrastructure must serve the lineup before it serves anything else. We're backing the community-led proposal at
bigwavebay.org and helping translate it into a governance model that protects the wave, the beach and the people who ride it.
