Lebanon is the 84th Member Nation of the International Surfing Association (ISA). The Lebanese Republic has Syria to the north and east, Israel to the south, and the Mediterranean Sea to the west. Although surfing and standup paddleboarding are fairly new sports to the country, fishermen have been using two-men boats to collect fish with nets since the 1950s, and often ride waves back to shore to stay in shape. “While our country might be better known for our warm culture and rich food, we have a variety of reef and beach breaks that make Surfing and StandUp Paddling possible to practice year round and to help develop world-class competitors,” says Ali Elamine, Lebanon Surf and Sport (LSS) president.
