The organization is proud to continue in the tradition of providing a portal to the future of professional surfing. The NSSA's mission is to help develop aspiring surfers' skills through participation in high quality surfing events that will prepare them to take their surfing career to the next level. However, the NSSA is also a strong proponent of education, espousing the importance of academic excellence and requiring competitors to meet certain academic standards in order to qualify for competition.

"Watching the top contenders battle for the titles at the NSSA National Championships is a direct look into the future of surfing," says Zach Boon, Nike 6.0 North American Brand Manager. "Nike 6.0's goal in supporting the NSSA and the Live Webcast is realized by the families, friends, and seers of the sport being able to peer into this crystal ball from wherever they may be across the globe. I personally can't wait to see the future written."
