Surf Launching Endorsement
A sea skipper license does not give the holder the right to launch from a beach you need an endorsement on the license to do so. There are two ways to achieve this:
- Attend a formal course at the coast where the SAMSA approved examiner will then test the applicant over a minimum of 4 days – 3 launches per day.
- Do the training under the supervision of a licensed sea skipper who has a surf launch endorsement. Training must be conducted under different sea and weather conditions with at least 3 launches per day. Once the sea skipper is confident that student can launch in a safe and responsible manner, he/she has to do a signed affidavit, under oath, specifying that the launches completed as well as the student, are ready to be tested. The student then arranges with a SAMSA approved examiner to test him/her over two days and, if successful, will receive the endorsement.
