Not sure what role if any Volcom is playing in the current dispute, as it was WSL who applied for the January 2019 permit for the Volcom Pipe Pro and who is asking for the change to its own permit application (i.e., CT event instead of Volcom Pipe Pro in January 2019). The deadline to apply for a permit for the 2019-2020 North Shore season is summer of 2018, so no December 2019 events have even been scheduled yet.jordanzs said:

No Talk of the WSL leaving Hawaii?
- Thread starter slopokecr
- Start date
It sounds like the WSL is getting greedy by wanting a Pipe contest in both December of this year & January of next year.
Why not just let Volcom take their December 2018 window & call it the final stop of the Triple Crown, and then the WSL gets the January slot for the kickoff event of the 2019-2020 season.
If you're awarded a permit, can you trade it with another party?

Because the WSL already announced it's new tour schedule. Well, stab broke it unofficially I guess. Renato Hickel has confirmed it in a Brazilian mag interview though I think.
"It surprises me more people aren't talking about this point."

WE goes with ME in the bropro surfing world.
We get the waves we want because it's our job and hey, we need to a earn a living. More often than not, we get shown the secret spots when we roll into town with our crew because we're cool like that. We get our photos in the mags because our sponsors are the advertisers. And we brown nose and suck up to photographers as much as we can to get those shots. No really, the photographer is my best friend.

Truly embarrassing for the WSL.
I don't see how any of this can be blamed on the Mayor, and we've blamed for A LOT of other stuff.

So let's say Hawaii is out for 2019. Do you think this opens up another "Rip Curl Pro Search" or "Quiksilver Pro" scenario? They go back to NYC or SF? Fill in the void with strange destinations in attempts to engage a new demographic?
I agree with you based on the released documents. I do believe the Mayor was put in a tough spot because even if he wanted to help the WSL by allowing them to make the requested changes after the cutoff date, he knows if he did, it will be followed by a lawsuit accusing him of favoritism, corruption and bribery. And I am sure most know who would file a lawsuit, but because of surf politics no one is pointing fingers directly at the North Shore and their un-elected spokesperson(s).Racer1 said:
Yeah, I first started surfing the North Shore in 74' and pretty much stopped after 81'. It was a great time to be a teenager.
One of the articles stated that the mayor does not even make these decisions. They are made by parks and resources (i think) to avoid a perceived conflict of interest.Racer1 said:
It seems that WSL is appealing to the mayor to intercede and make an exception to the rules.
Hawaii govt. made the rules, they were laid out plainly, and the WSL did not follow them.
Seems that way to me anyway.
That aside, it sounds like there's a fair amount of corruption in local HAW govt. from what you guys are saying.
Looks like this site updated and has more info.

A pertinent passage
""The city and county, the state, have rules and regulations. Nobody should be pushing anybody, telling them, 'If I don't get it (permits) in these two weeks I'm pulling out.' You wanna pull out, pull out. There's somebody around that would like to have your spot. It's as simple as that," said Earl Dahlin, who organizes the Haleiwa International Open.
City officials say they will continue their dialogue with the WSL organization, and that no final decisions have been made."
Also, no more women at Honolua?
"WSL also wants to move the Maui Women’s Pro to the North Shore and run it in conjunction with the Men’s Vans World Cup at Sunset Beach, which the World Surf League has also already applied for a permit for a waiting period at the end of November. In order to accomplish this, WSL officials are asking to extend the competition window by one day from four to five."
