EuroSIMA (European Surf Industry Manufacturers Association), a non-profit organisation, was founded in 1999 with the initial mission of representing the best interests of the European gliss industry manufacturers.
The Association has four main missions :


The Industry Voice

One of the most important roles of EuroSIMA is to offer each one of its members - regardless of size or net revenues - an equal voice in their industry. EuroSIMA's job is to represent the interests and promote the entire surf industry equally, as a whole.

Events

EuroSIMA initiates many federative events dedicated to the professionals of the boardsports industry or to the general public.

Trade Shows

EuroSIMA guarantees the industry attendance at the best European trade shows. It also participates in the overall concept of these various manifestations, in order to guarantee a coherent gliss industry environment.

Environmental Actions

EuroSIMA's Environmental Fund was created to serve as the environmental arm of the European Surf Industry Manufacturers Association. Such fund is used to promote ecological and environmental organisations whose efforts are focused on enhancing the oceanic and mountain environment.

EuroSIMA launched in 2004 the EuroSIMA Innovation Competition . Composed of a jury of professionals, this competition awards 10,000 euros to innovative solutions to an environmental problem (pollution, noxious wastes, recycling…) generated by the activity of surfboards shaping.

To combine industrial activity with environmental respect, such is the mission of the program of environmental management initiated by EuroSIMA within its company members and carried out by Laurent Bories of the G-akt company.
