Joe Carr will leverage the "opportunity the League has to further integrate the Kelly Slater Wave Company and its groundbreaking technology."

Is this legit? It is certainly relevant after recent contest/toledo discussions.
"But what’s interesting to the pro surfing fan is they want Joe Carr to fulfil Sophie Goldschmidt’s vision for pro surfing, global expansion etc, and to pivot hard into Slater wavepools.
In his new role at the WSL, Carr will lead the strategy and execution of the League’s international business and spearhead further integration with the Kelly Slater Wave Co."
What's up with this?
"It should come as no surprise, then, that Logan brutalized the entirely lovable Conner Coffin, who had the unfortunate task of being the surfers’ representative ahead of the pre-season cut. According to fresh information, Logan would berate Coffin on phone calls after the near-perfect Santa Barbran shared discomfort amongst the ranks, telling him to get the surfers in line, telling him he’d “ruin him” in rage-filled tirades that have, allegedly, been recorded."
