The Mavericks Challenge: Stop Discriminating Against Women Athletes, It’s Against the Law
Unfair business practices prevent women professional surfers from utilizing public resources and coastal access. The World Surf League has a history of gender-based discrimination.
Letter from the California Coastal Commission to the World Surf League regarding their “incomplete” Coastal Development Permit (CDP) Application No. 18-0496.
The World Surf League submitted a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) application to the California Coastal Commission on May 29, 2018. The three part CDP is linked below.
WSL management was slow to respond to requests from CEWS for the application.
Coastal Commission staff provided the application within three hours.
Thank you CCC staff for your prompt reply.
The WSL CDP application lacks detailed plans supporting gender equity and prize equity.
