WHO?
2003 UNESCO convention unsigned by significant surf countries (USA, New Zealand, Australia)*
They can’t be the bearer of this project
UNESCO methodology not very adapted to the Anglo-Saxon pragmatic methods* Nevertheless, they take into consideration this issue and those countries have their own systems of enshrinement and patrimony nomination.

WHO? (3)
The Southwest of France is often considered as the European surfing capital
France appears as the most relevant bearer of the project (moreover, the country gets Tahiti and Polynesia, two iconic authentic surf places)
Surfrider Foundation Europe could be (one of) the bearers of this project

Collective work Benefits derived from recognition of UNESCO
Travel (Paris, mobilization of local communities, etc.)
Important step before environmental law implementation
Recognition of the value of the waves
A working group, that could also be used for other future projects (general wave protection, water quality laws, etc.), will be created
Polling of information: tools, methods, information for everybody – Equality in those levels of knowledge. The first of it: my organizations & partners report.
