Major shockwaves at World Surf League as Jessi Miley-Dyer quietly drops “Chief of Sport” title!

Big confusion, many pointed fingers.

The rumor mill was sent into overdrive, early this morning, as sleuthing surf fans discovered World Surf League “Chief of Sport” Jessi Miley-Dyer had quietly dropped the august title from her Instagram page and now presents only as she/her, previous championship tour surfer and first WSL World Junior Champ.

Miley-Dyer has been a staple of professional surfing at its highest level, climbing the ranks through multiple regimes including those fronted by disgraced and embarrassed Erik Logan, England’s Sophie Goldschmidt, over-enthusiastic Paul Speaker and the last true and right leader Brodie Carr.

Confusing matters greatly, Miley-Dyer still has “Chief of Sport” on her LinkedIn portal.

While the Sydneysider has not been seen in Australia, handing important duties including, and limited to, calling contests on in the morning, to Renato Hickel, two distinct camps have emerged: Those who believe she is ascending to the long-vacant perch of CEO and those who believe the “global home of surfing” is undergoing further contractions ahead of eventual sale to Abu Dhabi.

In which do you find yourself?

Well, the tour moves to Margaret River in but one week carrying a heavy front load of San Clementines. Will the 2% continue to dominate all the way to a hometown finals day or will Brazil rise again?

Also, if a rudderless sport governing body disintegrates in a Western Australia vineyard and nobody is there as witness, does it make a sound?

More as the story develops.

Purely from a commercial view I believe it’s a smart step forward too be pushing white American surfers while Ziff stalks a sale of his league .

Saudi aren’t buying it, trust me.

It will slowly die on its own and given away for free.

History repeats

I’d love to know if the WSL have an HR or “chief people officer”. They certainly have some skills at disappearing people in the middle of the night.

You’re giving them to much credit. It’s not like they’re a real company or corporation. They probably didn’t even notice and would be shocked to know anyone cares… at least that’s how act anyway…

Put in the cupboard with a sufficient supply of Royal With Cheeses, one hopes.

I would wanna dip out too. With all the rigged af judging plus being around Joe Turpel, plus the Bethany hate, add on the unnecessary trans talk and all this drama I’d be like ✌️out

This embarrassing excuse for a professional sport deserves and demands an embarrassing Chief Of Sports!

I’m certain that the Saudis, given their absolutely stellar record on women’s rights, would welcome the opportunity to acquire a business with a female CEO at the helm

Your being sarcastic but just look at the work they’ve put into the LIV women’s tour. It’s a spotless track record.
