The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee recognized USA Surfing as the official national governing body for the sport in America on Wednesday, ending a multiyear saga that included the corporation's decertification and an attempt by U.S. Ski and Snowboard to take over. The USOPC approved USA Surfing's application effective June 1, declaring the federation was financially stable and ready to guide the sport into the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028. "USA Surfing's new leadership and new approach has made this moment possible," said USOPC chair Gene Sykes.
