Gender Inequity in Adaptive Surf Scoring
Last week we brought you to Waikiki Beach for the Hawaii Adaptive Surfing Championship. After that competition wrapped up, many of the athletes went home to prepare for other events, including the Adaptive Surfing World Championship in San Diego this December.
But recent news about that competition is sparking some controversy. The International Surfing Association announced that women’s scores would only be weighted at 50% of the men’s scores in team competition.
