 Later that year, the Surfrider Foundation in NSW, launched a version of the Surfers Code, under the guidance of Neil Lazarow with support from the formative Spirit of Surfing Trust, A ‘Law of the Ocean’ forum, sponsored by Southern Cross University, was also held in Byron Bay in 2001, and discussed a range of issues, implications and responses related to ‘surf rage’ events, including the Surfers Code and Spirit of Surfing concept.In 2000 when Nat Young was seriously assaulted in a "surf rage" incident at Angourie Point, he gifted $7000 he received as payment from a television interview on the incident to the SoS initiative.These funds were used to support the work of the movement including development of the Bells Beach, Victoria, Spirit of Surfing (SoS) project.
