I seriously hope something or somebody kills pro surfing.
Pro surfing has done more to fvck surfing up than the Surfrider Foundation.

I am surprised the current iteration of pro surfing has survived this long.
Dirk Ziff has $40B behind him.
He can do this for as long as he feels like.

Gaming?
Use the pros for their NIL, lowballing that in arbitration to Div. 3 women's field hockey pineriders, apply that to video games with all the VR sh!t, cut it all loose thereafter, no remaining overhead, fund hemorrhaging and everyone in China gets to pretend they are Medina shaving his armpits in the Teahupoo lineup.
Plausible? I think so.

I think they want him to fix the streaming and maybe set it up behind a paywall like Hulu/Netflix. This Aussie was complaining you couldn't even watch the Bells comp in person. Take it with a grain of salt - he IS an Aussie.
I think surfers feel left out. Content is the new cocaine and they don't know how to traffic that.
Name, Image, Likeness.
Big among college athletes as they can now get paid install of schools profiting off them.
For the most part, I'm not seeing how anyone really profits off of pro surfing... wasn't it a drug money laundering front to begin with? Wasn't the goal to "lose" money?
I think Red Bull should come up with a dream strike mission tour with no more than 10 surfers. Best waves in the world.
The bong did something like that years back. Sunny was in it, I can’t remember who else.
Billabong Challenge, mid 90s at Gnaraloo. Sunny, Occy, Machado, Margo, Slater, Shane Powell and maybe a few others?
