How would it play out? Who would jump ship for the money? Who would hold firm on principle?

What if the Saudi's set up immensely lucrative alternative tour to challenge the WSL?
- Thread starter BaliIdiot
- Start date
Everything about the events would be better.
It would be a complete abandon ship sh!t show in short order. Please lets see this show!
They'd have wave pool events in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Maldives would be on tour. But on the downside even if they kept the women's tour + Rosie, the hijab/modesty thing...nah.
Fucking. Every. Fucking. Body.
LOL!!! Burkinis all the way! Women's viewing on the left side of the wave pool, men on the right.
Would Igarashi and Weson-Webb add the Saudi national flag to their Japanese and Brazilian flags respectively? Will Tyler Wright be forced to remove her rainbow flag? Oh wait, silly question, Tyler Wright is one of the few professional surfers who would take a stand on principle against the murderous regime. After the new Saudi tour adds new strictures to it's contracts policing female athletes outside of contests, would Weson-Webb and others who base much of their market appeal on the front and centre presentation of shiny wet haunches ultimately be forced to join a breakaway underground tour where buttocks are encouraged to feature more prominently and function as cash cows?
Didn't some pros boycott South Africa during aparthied? Are there really no principled surfers on tour?
A Wright, an Australian, a woman, a lesbian, and a SURFER????
She'd take a knee on principle. After cashing the check. Getting that bag.
Do you want to protest one event, keep all your endorsement money, but not get paid prize money to not surf South Africa? I mean there are plenty of principled US/Aus surfers who didn't like going to Brazil and are principled in that respect.
But we are talking something radically different. It's not, do you want to get a two week unpaid vacation because you feel like it. The decision is, do you want to take Pro-Golfers-ask-how-high-when-told-to-jump STOCKPILES of loot.
Every Dora-tastic sumbeach ever queefed onto this good earth what can get down the line, who already sold out to Ziff, would sell entirely out, to literally Satan e-foiling with Zuckerberg through a pod of cove-corralled baby dolphins, reflexively.
The format would be a combination of individual competition and Boardriders style team competition. The webcast would be immensely better.
Shiny wet haunches is my new band name!
Why? Are authoritarian theocracies that live off the teat of great oil reserves inherently better at tech than the people who invented it?
