Strong presence from the Dominican Republic Surfing Federation

The Dominican Surfing Federation (FEDOSURF) was founded on March 6, 2002 and in this same year gained recognition from the Secretary of State of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation (SEDEFIR), the Pan American Association of Surf (PASA) and the International Surfing Association (ISA).

Since it was founded, FEDOSURF held the National Surfing Tour to establish the National Ranking every year. By 2005, FEDOSURF had already received recognition from the Dominican Olympic Committee (COD) and starting in 2006 the SEDEFIR began to assign a budget for FEDOSURF's administrative and operative expenses.  In addition, SEDEFIR contributed resources so that the Dominican Republic could participate in two world events and two Pan American events.
