The 2019 World Surf League was the competition series hosted by the World Surf League, the global championship body for competitive surfing. The 2019 World Surf League consisted of the Championship Tour (shortboard tour), the Qualifying Series (shortboard and longboard), Big Wave Tour, Longboard Tour, Junior Tour, and other specialty tours and events such as the Vans Triple Crown.[1]

The Annual World Surf League Champion Tour is a professional shortboarding surf tour run by the World Surf League (WSL), formerly known as the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) prior to 2014.[2]

The Championship tour is divided by gender into the Men’s and Women’s championship series. The 2019 tour consisted of 11 Men’s events and 10 Women’s events. The placings from each event for each competitor are used to determine, at the conclusion of the tour, the overall female and male champions for 2019, referred to by the league as World Champions.

The 2019 tour began in April and ended in December, travelling to the global locations of Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, South Africa, America, France, Portugal, Hawaii and Tahiti.[3] In 2019 the female world champion was Carissa Moore,[4] from Hawaii, and the male world champion was Italo Ferreira, from Brazil.[5]

## Olympic qualification

[edit]

For the first time in Olympic history surfing will be included in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The WSL 2019 Tour, in conjunction with other events, will be used for Olympic qualification for the 2020 Olympics.[8]

In an agreement reached by the International Surfing Association and the WSL, it was decided that of the 40 places in the Olympic games, 20 would be determined from the ISA World Surfing games, 18 from the WSL (10 men 8 women) and the remaining 2 for the host nation.[8]

### 2020 Tokyo Olympics

## Changes to 2019 season

[edit]

### Competition format

[edit]

The competition format of the 2019 Championship Tour was changed from previous years. In 2019, all competitors were to compete in a Seeding Round. From this seeding round, the two highest scoring surfers in each heat advance to round of 32, and the lowest placed surfer competes in an elimination round. In the elimination round heats, the top two surfers from each heat progress to the round of 32, while the losing four are eliminated. A single elimination format is then used from the Round of 32, with only the heat winner advancing.[10]

### Prize money

[edit]

2018 saw 36 Male surfers compete for $607,800 across the tour, while the 18 women on tour were competing for $303,900. In individual events such as the 2018 RipCurl pro, the Male winner Italo Ferreira was awarded $100,000 while the female winner, Stephanie Gilmore, was awarded $65,000.[11] The WSL announced on 5 September 2018 that female and male surfers, from the 2019 tour onwards, would receive equal prize money.[12]

This was partnered with three initiatives by the WSL to elevate and enhance equality in female surfing, including; increased marketing of the women’s tour, a "local community engagement program for girls around the world" structured around the world tour events, and "a monthly content series" about the history of female surfing. This change has been recognised as a "wider push to challenge gender norms and improve the status of women across sport industries globally".[13] An article on the topic found that "female surfers will likely be encouraged to pursue surfing as a professional sport, knowing that the financial cost of their attempts to reach the championship tour will be less daunting" as while professional tour surfers are often supported by sponsors and investors, it is the women on the qualifying tour who must fund their own efforts to go professional.[11]

This has further been recognised as part of ongoing cultural change with regards to gender equality and social justice not only in sport but in the global community, with it argued that "the voices and experiences of athletes" form critical part of progressive movement.[13] Kelly Slater stated that "the women on the tour deserve this change. I'm so proud that surfing is choosing to lead sports in equality and fairness. The female WSL athletes are equally committed to their craft as the male athletes and should be paid the same. Surfing has always been a pioneering sport, and this serves as an example of that."[12] Stephanie Gilmore stated "the prize money is fantastic, but the message means even more. From the moment current ownership became involved, the situation for the women surfers has been transformed for the better in every way", and that she hoped this change would serve "as a model for other sports, global organizations and society as a whole".[12]

### WSL Pure

[edit]

WSL Pure is the philanthropic branch of the WSL, focusing on ocean health and sustainability. The WSL Pure campaign made three commitments to be completed by the end of 2019.

#### Commitment to eliminate single use plastic

[edit]

The WSL pledged to remove the usage of single-serve plastics from their events by the end of 2019 in light of their impact on the marine environment. This is due to the breakdown of these single use plastics into microparticles, which bioaccumulate, shown in studies that found 83% of the worlds drinking water is contaminated with microplastic.[14]

#### Commitment to becoming carbon neutral

[edit]

The WSL made the commitment to become carbon neutral by the end of 2019, as the movement of surfers globally to compete and spectate WSL events leaves a substantial carbon footprint. WSL pure pledged to reinvest “the cost of our tour’s carbon footprint into projects that safeguard marine life”.[citation needed]

#### Commitment to coast environment protection

[edit]

The WSL further made the commitment to protecting the environments where they hold events. The WSL stated that from trampling over sand dunes, to sunscreen bleaching reefs, wherever we travel, humans leave their mark and our coastal communities are continually feeling this pressure”.[15] They aim to alleviate and help mitigate this human impact. This includes protecting dunes, ensuring adequate trash removal, the use of reef-safe sunscreen, following local instruction to protect sensitive habitats and donating to local organisations.[citation needed]
