We seem to be in violent agreement that Sasha (he/haw) is the perfect representative of what pro surfing has become.

It's unclear how many customers KMD Brands (parent of Rip Curl) has added by firing women and boosting a tranny, but probably not as many as they've lost doing the same. Something tells me that when these two pitched the idea, the board broke out into standing applause but everyone was afraid to stop clapping.
so when all the wetsuit companies sponsor trannies you gonna just bareback it in the jersey winter. is there a brain cell in that head of your at all?
You're right - resistance is futile. This is where the market is headed. Check out some of your bikini options:

It’s interesting to see the different ways skateboarding and surfing handle diversity (or whatever you want to call it for this).
Skating seems to have embraced it — or at least accepted it. One of Thrasher’s SOTY was gay. DLX distribution (who handles brands like Real, Anti-Hero, Krooked) now have a brand that is exclusively queer: There skateboards.
Surfing on the other hand, seems to be a lot more closed off.
And oddly, the biggest cultural threat to kids’ health IMO, heavy drinking and drugs, doesn’t ever really get called out by either skating or surfing in any meaningful way.

It's not about being open to diversity or not. It's about something that everyone with 2 rational brain cells to rub together can tell is a complete farce with major fairness issues, yet these companies and institutions blindly push it forward to appease a tiny yet very vocal minority.

If this were a WSL contest, Id agree. But it’s one single Instagram post of thousands that Rip Curl has posted. Add to it a nanosecond of Sasha in some video catalog shoot, and we’ve got two assets out of thousands…. Doesn’t seem like a huge deal. That’s just my two rational brain cells talking.
