Chief of Sportwashing.
The Santa Monica-based World Surf League has worked extremely hard during these past few years to place itself squarely in the camp of social progressives. From patting itself on the back for making equal pay between and women, adopting the most liberal trans inclusion policy, robust environmental bush planting and ruthlessly muzzling those who disagree, many have celebrated the acronym WSL also standing for “Woke Surf League.”
A brave new world.
Except.
Hours ago, the “global home of surfing” came under heavy fire for being a super gross polluter. The average surfer with his one-board-per-year and one-trip-per-five was fingered as 50% more environmentally damaging than the normal citizen. The professional surfer with her six-boards-per-event and three-trips-per-month, then, at least 90% more more environmentally damaging.
Whilst breaking out the scrub brushes an attempting a nice green wash, the League was hit once more, this time for tacitly supporting far-right Central American strongman Nayib Bukele and his brutalist incarceration spree.
The Guardian recently profiled Jose Antonio Potes and his childhood pal Manuel Castrillon, both Colombian, who traveled to El Salvador looking for work. Once there, the two were locked up in a draconian anti-gang mass arrest and spent over three months in jail with no trial or explanation.
“It started really making sense then that they were just throwing innocent people in jail to show them off to the outside world,” Potes said as he met many behind bars who were there by mistake. “You no longer need to have any link with the gangs to be locked up in El Salvador. You simply need to be a young male,” lawyer Ruth Elonaro López added.
Young and male or wholly female as other reports suggest that “lesbian women” are being taken from their homes and tossed in the clink after being denounced by strange taxi cab drivers.
The World Surf League, as you know, is headed to El Salvador in a few short weeks, for the Championship Tour stop number seven, the Surf City El Salvador Pro.
Exciting.
But how do you think WSL CEO Erik Logan and self-described architect of the grand liberal reforms Chief of Sport Jessi Miley-Dyer will react to right-leaning shenanigans south of the border? Will Bukele’s name be banished from the booth, like the great conservative Bethany Hamilton, or will announcers be instructed to simply look the other way?
Will Wright take a knee for the nearly 70,000 people recently locked up, many without trial?
Currently more questions than answers.

find the right strain, and smoke it til your eyes bleed resin….that’s the balance…..get above it
The proof reader didn’t even make it to the second sentence, Chas?
Sorry to hear your balanced longboarding is bringing you so much joy.
And you still haven’t answered the question. What exactly makes the “progressive agenda” progressive?
so judgemental, voice never mentioned long boarding.
You did.
Surfing has more to do with uneven distribution of weight than it does balance.
And I’m not asking about the people occupying the agenda. I’m asking about the agenda itself.
What exactly is “progressive” about the progressive agenda? There’s no progress when shit goes sideways.
IT MUST GO BACKWARDS TILL WHEN I FELT COMFORTABLE.
Let me get this straight…or geigh…
Lesbians are upset about being locked in a prison full of…women?
Are we sure this wasn’t a campaign promise by Bukele and he’s the hero of this story?
I wonder if Tyler only has the one move when she’s doing her lezo stuff too?
