RACE RELATIONS
David wants the WSL to maintain the same policies in Hawaii that they implement at every other stop on tour. Chas advocates for 10 Hawaiian surfers to be allowed in to the Pipe Masters. What do you think?
The WSL hired a white dude as their Ambassador of Stoke and Leisure. The Inertia thinks that it was a mistake and that they have given the job to some who would help to diversify surfing’s voice. What do you think?
And what exactly is The Ambassador of Stoke of Leisure? Was the large scale campaign for the position just a big data collection scheme? It seems like most of his work is running through his own Instagram feed.
SEX & SURFING
PornHub is sponsoring an “xxxtreme” athlete. To increase porn traffic? To destigmatize pornography? Who would be the best fit? Luke Davis?
