Prior to the existence of Surf League, Nova Scotians would often spend weeks of the summer and hundreds of precious dollars traveling to competitions in Ontario, Quebec and the United States. Since the Surf League's inception, Nova Scotians have been given the opportunity to compete regularly, without ever having to leave the province.


The Nova Scotia Surf League is operated by the Nova Scotia Lifeguard Service. The Nova Scotia Lifeguard Service, or NSLS, has been guarding Nova Scotias beaches since 1972. ...


At the conclusion of each summer, league awards are presented to the top teams and individuals who competed on the series. Career statistics are also maintained by the league for wins for men and women.
