SLSWA Surf Sports Calendar 2026-27
Not every event on the SLSWA Surf Sports calendar will be relevant to Denmark SLSC members, but if you have a seasoned Nipper, Youth or Open competitor who is keen to get involved in more surf sports this season, it’s worth having a look and saving the dates that interest you.
There are opportunities across a range of disciplines and age groups, so keep the calendar handy as you start planning the season ahead.
