The ISA is the IFCA division for speedsurfing. The ISA Speedsurfing Grand Prix Tour is sanctioned by IFCA.
The International Windsurfing Association (Link) is another organization that was formed in 2001 to help coordinate and unite the world of windsurfing competition.
It plays an important role in coordinating the International calendar and in avoiding disputes between classes. It is a valuable link between the sport and the ISAF and other organizations.
There are many national and local windsurfing clubs and associations that organized the sport on a grass roots level.
