Surfers Have a Choice.
Surfers Have a Choice.
Either double down and keep surfing in surfers’ hands so LA28 leaves a legacy for generations, or sit back and let a winter federation decide Olympic surfing’s future—and siphon away the chance to reinvest in our sport and communities.
We’re not partisan; we’re surfers. We care, we ask questions, and we act. This moment demands it.
@surfer_magazine editor in chief Jake Howard joins members of the Stop the Skijack Coalition to share what’s at stake:
• @kirrapink — @isasurfing World Surfing Games gold medalist who earned the U.S. a bonus Olympic slot — stresses the importance of community and continuity of surfing’s strong connections.
• Head Coach @ryansimmons1374 — speaks to @usasurfing ‘s full development pipeline of high-performance support.
• @surf_industry ‘s @vipedesai — on industry, athletes, and community standing together to keep surf led by surfers.
• @jakehoward76 — clarifies the priority in this decision: surfers. why people who live it, surf it, and have their feet in the sand must lead to develop future gold medalists.
We did our homework. We asked hard questions, reviewed the applications, and understand what’s at stake. Keep Surf in Surfing.
