They blocked for one another, sat deeper, faded more gracefully, and did more critical maneuvers than the men on their long and alternate craft. Like a majestic pride of hunting lionesses, I watched these women overtake the point. A crowd of women, ages ranging from 20ish-40ish, descended onto the already crowded golden-hour uppers with mid-lengths and longboards and proceeded to trample the ego and bravado of about thirty puffy-chested men who, until that point, had thought they ruled the peak. I was able to witness this level of empowerment with my own two eyes last Sunday evening at Uppers. Bethany Hamilton did better air reverses in a single session BSR as a thirty-something mother of two with one arm than most of our male readership have done in their life, myself included. Caroline Marks became the youngest surfer to ever qualify for the world tour. Keala Kennelly got a good case of Athletes Mouth and then mobilized a team of minions to go after any naysayers who called her on her mistake in the name of social justice. I just witnessed the surfing version of Lysistrata and it was amazing!Ģ019 (ish) has been a good year for women’s surfing. The WSL standardized prize money for equality.
