A: The World Surf League coordinates the following: the Championship Tours (CT), the Qualifying Series (QS), the Big Wave Tour, the Longboard Championship, the Junior Championship and the Masters Championship, as well as the Big Wave Awards. WSL events are run and managed with Surfing NSW and other organisations around the country. 4 WSL World Championship Tour (WCT) Event Information 5 Q: How many events are there on the WSL World Championship Tour? A: 11 events on the Men's & 10 events on the Women's Q: Who can win the WSL World Championship? A: Any one of the World Surf League Top 34 men's surfers or Top 17 women's surfers that qualified to compete in the Championship Tour. The male and female surfers with the most points at the end of the year are named World Champions. Q: Which events can be used to count towards rankings of WCT & QS? A: There are two main rankings systems, the Championship Tour rankings and the Qualifying Series rankings. The CT rankings determine the World Champions while the QS rankings help determine who will qualify for next year's Championship Tour. The 2015 CT rankings will include results from the Top 34 and Top 17 as well as the replacement surfers. Only results from CT events will count towards the CT rankings. The best 9 of 11 results will count towards the men's ranking and the best 8 of 10 results count towards the women's rankings. The 2015 QS rankings will include results from all WSL surfers competing in QS events. The best 5 results will count towards the rankings. Therefore the 2016 WSL Top 34 will be comprised of: • Top 22 finishers on the 2015 CT rankings • Top 10 from the 2015 QS rankings (excluding those who have already qualified through the CT Rankings) • Two WSL Wildcards • The 2016 WSL Top 17 will be comprised of: • Top 10 from the 2015 CT Rankings • Top 6 from the 2015 QS Rankings (barring those who have already qualified through the CT Rankings) • One WSL Wildcard Q: What are WSL WCT wildcards? A: Each year the World Surf League selects three surfers (two for the Men's CT and one for the Women's), who wouldn't have otherwise qualified, to join the Top 32 or Top 16 to compete in the CT for the entire season. Usually these are CT surfers who were injured in the previous season and therefore unable to re-qualify. The 2015 WSL wildcards are C.J. Hobgood (USA) & Glenn Hall (IRL) in the Men's CT & Dimity Stoyle (AUS) in the Women's CT. 6 Q: What are event WCT wildcards? A: In addition to the World Surf League wildcards there are also event wildcards. These are surfers who are chosen to compete alongside the CT surfers in a single CT event. A Men's CT event has a 36-man field comprised of the Top 34 plus two event wildcards. Women's CT events have an 18-woman field comprised of the Top 17 plus one event wildcard. The event wildcard is typically awarded by either the event sponsor, through a trials event or through automatic entry at the discretion of the event organizer. Typically candidates for the event wildcard will come from the event sponsor's team, the local area, or both. Not only do these surfers complete the seed list and/or fill in for injured surfers, but they also bring exciting new faces and challenges to the CT elite. Q: What are WCT replacement surfers? A: Replacement surfers are those who are chosen to fill empty spots at CT events should any of the competitors be unable to complete. Replacement surfers are chosen by the WSL before the start of the season and are offered the opportunity to fill empty places in CT events should other surfers withdraw. Q: Do event wildcards and replacement surfers get to use their results towards their CT Rankings? A: Yes, As of 2015, all event wildcards and replacement surfers will use their results towards a CT ranking. 7 WSL Regional Pro Junior Qualifying Series (JQS) Event Information 8 Q: What is the regional Pro Junior Qualifying Series (JQS)? A: This Tour is the events for Junior surfers 18 years and under. It comprises a number of events in Australasia, which form a tour of ranking points. 5 events in total will count towards the overall rankings where a team will represent Australasia and progress to the World Junior Championships.

A: The age for WSL JQS events from 2016 is 18 and Under. Therefore to be eligible to enter a WSL JQS you cannot turn 19 before December 31st of the current year. Q: What is the goal for each competitor throughout the Regional JQS? A: The end goal is to finish in the below top tour rankings to progress to the World Junior Championships: • Top 4 JQS Australasian males gain entry into WSL World Junior Championships • Top 2 JQS Australasian males who finish highest on the QS international ranking will also gain entry to the WSL World Junior Championships representing Aus o There is also 6x world wide wildcards for the males for the event • Top 2 Australasian females gain entry into the WSL World Junior Championships o There is also 4x world wide wildcards for the males for the event Q: What is the WSL World Junior Championships?

Although the act of riding a wave started as a religious/cultural tradition, surfing rapidly transformed into a global water sport. The popularity of surfing is the result of events, innovations, influential people (http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/9754­the­most­influential­people­to­ the­birth­of­surfing), and technological developments. Early surfers had to challenge the power of the oceans with heavy, finless surfboards. Today, surfing has evolved into a high­tech extreme sport, in which hydrodynamics and materials play vital roles. Surfboard craftsmen have improved their techniques; wave riders have bettered their skills. The present and future of surfing can only be understood if we look back at its glorious past. From the rudimentary "caballitos de totora" to computerized shaping machines, there's an incredible trunk full of memories, culture, achievements and inventions to be rifled through.

  • Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
    Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M. Grundlingh Co-supervisor: Prof. Sandra S. Swart Marc 2015 0 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.
