His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark

Experts said they couldn’t think of a similar situation in another sport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Mavericks case could set a precedent for local governments to demand equal pay in any sporting event held on public property, said David Berri, a professor of economics at Southern Utah University who researches gender in sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In any event where you are going across public land, then any government entity could say, ‘You have to make this equal,’ ” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the lead set by some \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/equal-pay-for-equal-play-what-the-sport-of-tennis-got-right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tennis\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2018/05/12/83075/tour-of-california-will-award-equal-prize-money-to/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cycling\u003c/a> competitions, the World Surf League, which runs the Mavericks contest near Half Moon Bay, announced \u003ca href=\"https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-world-surf-league-wsl-announces-prize-money-equality-300707417.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a new plan\u003c/a> this week to pay men and women equal prize money starting on Oct. 1. It came after an obscure three-person state panel indicated last month that it would lease the public beach for Mavericks only if women and men are awarded the same prize money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The waves do not discriminate,” the staff of the State Lands Commission wrote in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/StateLands_Mavericks.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an unusually blistering report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Male athletes are surfing and competing on the same waves as the female athletes. There doesn’t appear to be any reasonable justification to treat prize compensation differently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission—which includes prominent Democratic politicians Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Controller Betty Yee—hasn’t yet voted on the issue because the league \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/24/equal-pay-or-no-one-plays-big-wave-women-draw-line-in-the-sand-at-mavericks/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pulled\u003c/a> its application for the lease when the report came out. But the panel was likely to approve the equal pay requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe there ought to be gender equity with respect to the purposes of any use of our state lands,” Yee said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also supported the requirement, said his chief of staff, Rhys Williams: “A lease application that doesn’t reflect equal pay isn’t going to fly with him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that the league has crafted a plan to pay men and women equally, it will likely resubmit its application for Mavericks, which is typically held between October and March when the waves swell to more than 25 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/01/women-of-mavericks-find-themselves-a-dollar-short-of-the-men/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the original plan\u003c/a>, the prize purse for women was set at $44,400 while the prize purse for men was $106,600. The purse was to be divided among all competitors in each division, with $15,000 for the woman winning first place and $25,000 for the man earning first place. Second-and third-place prizes were to have even greater gaps, with the women earning less than half of what men would. The league previously defended the plan as fair because the men’s division included more competitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The league did not specify the prize purse or number of competitors under the new plan, saying only that it involved “equal prize money” for male and female athletes. It declined to answer questions for this article and, in a press release, cast its new arrangement as part of a “long-planned strategy to elevate women’s surfing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But women who have been advocating for equal pay for surfers said the change never would have come about without the government taking a stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Said Sabrina Brennan of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.surfequity.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Committee for Equity in Women’s Surfing\u003c/a>: “It’s what gave us leverage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brennan is not a surfer but she sits on the board of the San Mateo County Harbor District, so she knows a little something about government approval processes. Her fight for women surfers began in 2015, when she learned Mavericks could take place only with a permit from the California Coastal Commission. At that time women weren’t allowed to compete in the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s when I initially realized there was an opportunity to ask a state agency to intervene and add a condition on the permit that would require women be allowed to compete,” Brennan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission agreed, and in 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-mavericks-women-20161103-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">required\u003c/a> Mavericks to include a heat for women. But the event hasn’t been held since then, due to a lack of ideal surf conditions and a change of ownership in the management of Mavericks. So this winter was set to be the first time women would compete at the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the surf league sought a new round of government permits, Brennan began to focus her lobbying on the issue of equal pay. She organized some of the world’s top female surfers—including Valenti—to send letters to the Coastal and State Lands commissions asking that they require Mavericks to pay equal prize money. A lawyer volunteered to beef up their letters with citations to relevant civil rights cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unfortunate that it took a tiny group of women athletes, an activist, an attorney and a couple state agencies to get them to do the right thing,” Brennan said after the league announced its new pay plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But, whatever. I’m just glad it happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The state is requiring equal prize money for men and women to hold the Mavericks surf contest on a public beach.

Basketball and golf have struggled for years with pay equity issues, and female players have \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/01/sports/soccer/uswnt-us-women-carli-lloyd-alex-morgan-hope-solo-complain.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sued\u003c/a> U.S. Soccer for wage discrimination, arguing they’re paid 40 percent of what their male counterparts earn, despite outperforming them on the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s unusual with the Mavericks surf competition is that the government—a state commission, in this case—preemptively stepped in to compel equal pay as a condition of holding the event. Experts said they couldn’t think of a similar situation in another sport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Mavericks case could set a precedent for local governments to demand equal pay in any sporting event held on public property, said David Berri, a professor of economics at Southern Utah University who researches gender in sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In any event where you are going across public land, then any government entity could say, ‘You have to make this equal,’ ” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the lead set by some \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/equal-pay-for-equal-play-what-the-sport-of-tennis-got-right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tennis\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2018/05/12/83075/tour-of-california-will-award-equal-prize-money-to/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cycling\u003c/a> competitions, the World Surf League, which runs the Mavericks contest near Half Moon Bay, announced \u003ca href=\"https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-world-surf-league-wsl-announces-prize-money-equality-300707417.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a new plan\u003c/a> this week to pay men and women equal prize money starting on Oct. 1. It came after an obscure three-person state panel indicated last month that it would lease the public beach for Mavericks only if women and men are awarded the same prize money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The waves do not discriminate,” the staff of the State Lands Commission wrote in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/StateLands_Mavericks.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an unusually blistering report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Male athletes are surfing and competing on the same waves as the female athletes. There doesn’t appear to be any reasonable justification to treat prize compensation differently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission—which includes prominent Democratic politicians Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Controller Betty Yee—hasn’t yet voted on the issue because the league \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/24/equal-pay-or-no-one-plays-big-wave-women-draw-line-in-the-sand-at-mavericks/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pulled\u003c/a> its application for the lease when the report came out. But the panel was likely to approve the equal pay requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe there ought to be gender equity with respect to the purposes of any use of our state lands,” Yee said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also supported the requirement, said his chief of staff, Rhys Williams: “A lease application that doesn’t reflect equal pay isn’t going to fly with him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that the league has crafted a plan to pay men and women equally, it will likely resubmit its application for Mavericks, which is typically held between October and March when the waves swell to more than 25 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/01/women-of-mavericks-find-themselves-a-dollar-short-of-the-men/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the original plan\u003c/a>, the prize purse for women was set at $44,400 while the prize purse for men was $106,600. The purse was to be divided among all competitors in each division, with $15,000 for the woman winning first place and $25,000 for the man earning first place. Second-and third-place prizes were to have even greater gaps, with the women earning less than half of what men would. The league previously defended the plan as fair because the men’s division included more competitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The league did not specify the prize purse or number of competitors under the new plan, saying only that it involved “equal prize money” for male and female athletes. It declined to answer questions for this article and, in a press release, cast its new arrangement as part of a “long-planned strategy to elevate women’s surfing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But women who have been advocating for equal pay for surfers said the change never would have come about without the government taking a stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Said Sabrina Brennan of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.surfequity.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Committee for Equity in Women’s Surfing\u003c/a>: “It’s what gave us leverage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brennan is not a surfer but she sits on the board of the San Mateo County Harbor District, so she knows a little something about government approval processes. Her fight for women surfers began in 2015, when she learned Mavericks could take place only with a permit from the California Coastal Commission. At that time women weren’t allowed to compete in the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s when I initially realized there was an opportunity to ask a state agency to intervene and add a condition on the permit that would require women be allowed to compete,” Brennan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission agreed, and in 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-mavericks-women-20161103-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">required\u003c/a> Mavericks to include a heat for women. But the event hasn’t been held since then, due to a lack of ideal surf conditions and a change of ownership in the management of Mavericks. So this winter was set to be the first time women would compete at the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the surf league sought a new round of government permits, Brennan began to focus her lobbying on the issue of equal pay. She organized some of the world’s top female surfers—including Valenti—to send letters to the Coastal and State Lands commissions asking that they require Mavericks to pay equal prize money. A lawyer volunteered to beef up their letters with citations to relevant civil rights cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unfortunate that it took a tiny group of women athletes, an activist, an attorney and a couple state agencies to get them to do the right thing,” Brennan said after the league announced its new pay plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But, whatever. I’m just glad it happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11691057/california-just-forced-equal-pay-for-female-surfers-could-that-change-other-games","authors":["byline_news_11691057"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_1758","news_6188","news_8","news_10"],"tags":["news_18565","news_136","news_1071"],"affiliates":["news_18481"],"featImg":"news_11691076","label":"source_news_11691057"},"news_11618623":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11618623","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11618623","score":null,"sort":[1506567716000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"when-surfing-is-your-bridge-between-temple-and-the-world","title":"When Surfing Is Your Bridge Between Temple and the World","publishDate":1506567716,"format":"audio","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":72,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>What does an 83-year-old woman who surfs the cold waters of San Francisco's Ocean Beach have in common with a Buddhist monk hiking through the Himalayas?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're both people who author \u003ca href=\"http://jaimalyogis.com\">Jaimal Yogis\u003c/a> encounters as he scours the planet looking for the secrets to internal happiness.

Twenty-four of the best big wave surfers in the world are flying in right now, with just three days notice, to tackle the massive, powerful waves. Not one of those surfers is a woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 15-year history of the event, there has never been a female competitor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a handful of women do surf regularly and successfully at the famed spot. In 1999, Sarah Gerhardt was the first -- as far as anyone knows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I showed up and they said, ‘You’re the first woman!’ ” said Gerhardt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, women have paddled out more frequently.

In November, \u003ca href=\"http://www.coastal.ca.gov/meetings/mtg-mm15-11.html\" target=\"_blank\">the Coastal Commission\u003c/a> voted 7-4 to require contest organizers to create a plan to include women in future events. In much the same way that the commission can add conditions to its approval of any permit, Commissioner Mark Vargas put forward a motion making inclusion of female surfers a condition of future permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t walk into the meeting thinking I was going to be some kind of feminist champion,” said Vargas, the commissioner for Los Angeles. “I just wanted to follow up and find out if there is a plan. The answers I got from them didn’t inspire confidence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those answers, he felt, lacked details about how surfers are selected in what is a somewhat subjective process, despite \u003ca href=\"http://titansofmavericks.com/criteria/\" target=\"_blank\">a listing of criteria on the event’s website\u003c/a>. He said he also felt there was an attitude that seemed to suggest he shouldn’t be asking any questions in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were comments made at that meeting, and comments have been made in the past, about how women aren’t strong enough, aren’t ready for the biggest waves or that they could die out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two male surfers have died at Mavericks and a woman's attempt to ride the biggest wave ever for a female surfer last year, off the coast of Portugal, resulted in a horrific crash that prompted huge debates within the sport over just how ready women are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that’s total b.s.,” said Paige Alms, a big-wave surfer in Maui, who became the first woman to get barreled at Jaws -- meaning she rode through the barrel of the massive famous Hawaiian wave. She thinks there are already women good enough to be competing at Mavericks, and that if they were really being considered then they'd be included.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10815193\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 680px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10815193\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10815193\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png\" alt=\"Maui big-wave surfer Paige Alms says women are already good enough to surf in Mavericks.\" width=\"680\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png 680w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms-400x222.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maui big-wave surfer Paige Alms says women are already good enough to surf in Mavericks. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/519614730/super-sessions-ii-women-surfing-huge-waves/description\" target=\"_blank\">Super Sessions\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Give us a heat and let us show you,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what an inclusion plan will ultimately look like is still very much up for discussion. Event organizers argue that they already include women in their consideration of who should be invited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have never uninvited women,” said Rhodes. However, some of the female surfers, like Alms, would like to see a separate women’s heat, where they aren’t competing directly against men. Coastal Commission staff have said they’ll be reviewing the issue and meeting with stakeholders before next year’s permit application extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission decided this year to bring the Mavericks contest under its purview.

However, we progress every year. There was a huge change in women's paddle-in surfing starting in 2010, and the progression has been gaining momentum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaughnessy made the Committee 5’s short list, and was invited to judge the event the last time it was held. Gerhardt, also a local, was invited to serve on the committee, but had to decline because of other commitments. The organizers point to these as examples that they’re open to including women. They just want the women to get better before they're added to the contest lineup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to open a door where all of a sudden we’re the fire department and we’re lowering the standards for women,” said Rhodes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question of why women may not be good enough yet, though, does not have a simple answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While surfing has historically been a bit of a boys club, in recent years female surfers on the world tour have become popular in their own right. \u003ca href=\"http://www.worldsurfleague.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The World Surf League\u003c/a>, formerly the Association of Surfing Professionals, has made equality in pay and event access a priority, said WSL vice president Dave Prodan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But big-wave surfing -- the kind of surfing seen on massive, death-defying waves like at Mavericks -- is still predominantly the domain of men. It's an issue that's been discussed at length within the sport, like in \u003ca href=\"http://www.surfermag.com/features/women-big-wave-surfing/#dkJBFLhPU1uz05L1.97\" target=\"_blank\">an article in Surfer Magazine called \"Boys' Club.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, it may be a chicken-egg problem. Are there so few female big-wave surfers because there’s so little opportunity for them or is there so little opportunity because there’s no one to take advantage of it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there is a WSL Big Wave Tour for male surfers, there is no tour for women. A big-wave event at Nelscott Reef in Oregon attracted just three female surfers in 2010, which discouraged the organizers from continuing the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerhardt said that the problem was that the location was so remote and there was so little prize money it would have cost the women more than they could have gained by competing and winning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the top female big-wave surfers are able to make a living at surfing. All have other jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignleft\">\n\u003ch2>Bianca Valenti riding Mavericks\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/CHFjKrwnwz0\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In 2014, eight women showed up at the next event held at Nelscott Reef, just to make a point and to support the women’s side of sport, said Alms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Franciscan Bianca Valenti won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valenti doesn’t make a living surfing. She partially owns a restaurant in San Anselmo with her dad, where she serves as the soigneur and runs the bar. In the mornings, she heads to Ocean Beach to get in as many hours of surfing and training as she can. That’s typical of the life of most female big-wave surfers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big-wave surfing, even more than regular surfing, struggles to attract sponsors. Events, far from the coast and difficult to follow, don’t have as much media attention or as many fans. Trying to extend that small amount of money and time to women spreads it even thinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as Alms and Valenti are quick to point out, it’s men who are in charge of the events, the organizations and the surf companies. So it's men who get to decide where that attention and those dollars go. It doesn't help that when female surfers are featured in photos or ads, there tends to be a focus on bikinis and butt shots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ones who make the most money are basically models for these companies,” said Alms. Big-wave surfers, conversely, tend to be dressed in full wetsuits. They get bloody and beaten up, when they’re not freezing. Basically, there’s a reason Dayla Soul named her documentary about female big-wave surfers \"It Ain’t Pretty\" -- because it really isn't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The women, though, believe that if they just had a platform, then they could win people over with their surfing. That’s why last year a group of them -- Alms, Valenti, Shaughnessy, Gerhardt and another four surfers -- participated in a multimedia project called \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2vblGO9g2E\" target=\"_blank\">Super Sessions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They filmed their own surf sessions over a series of months at different famous surf spots, submitted videos online for viewers to vote on, and even met together at Mavericks to surf it in a sort of informal festival. It’s not an official competition yet, but it’s what they’ve got for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we want something to happen, we have to do it on our own,” said Valenti. However, they fell \u003ca href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/519614730/super-sessions-ii-women-surfing-huge-waves/description\" target=\"_blank\">short of their Kickstarter goal\u003c/a> to fund a second year of Super Sessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's just not that easy to build up the entire future of a sport. The logistics of getting the Mavericks event off the ground each year are also fairly challenging, given the location and small time window. Along with the weather, organizers have to contend with a number of blackout dates from the permitting agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the selected day, there’s a limited amount of time to have all the men surf. Getting a heat of women in as well would be difficult, said Rhodes and Virostko -- but they hope they might be able to fit it in at some point in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Eventually, maybe we could figure something out to have a heat in between the semis and the finals,” said Virostko.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Female surfers have never been included in the Mavericks competition, but that may all change next year.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1455063319,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":60,"wordCount":2609},"headData":{"title":"Mavericks Could Be Required to Include Women Surfers Next Year | KQED","description":"Female surfers have never been included in the Mavericks competition, but that may all change next year.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"disqusIdentifier":"10794649 http://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=10794649","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/10/mavericks-could-be-required-to-include-women-surfers-next-year/","disqusTitle":"Mavericks Could Be Required to Include Women Surfers Next Year","customPermalink":"mavericks-could-be-required-to-include-women/","path":"/news/10794649/mavericks-could-be-required-to-include-women-surfers-next-year","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">O\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>n Friday, the infamous Mavericks surfing competition will be held off the shore of Pillar Point, just north of Half Moon Bay. Twenty-four of the best big wave surfers in the world are flying in right now, with just three days notice, to tackle the massive, powerful waves. Not one of those surfers is a woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 15-year history of the event, there has never been a female competitor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a handful of women do surf regularly and successfully at the famed spot. In 1999, Sarah Gerhardt was the first -- as far as anyone knows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I showed up and they said, ‘You’re the first woman!’ ” said Gerhardt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, women have paddled out more frequently. If you could tell them apart from the men, all in their full-length black wetsuits, you might have been able to spot Bianca Valenti or Savannah Shaughnessy during a swell in early December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no woman has ever been considered good enough to make the final list of 24 surfers invited to compete at Mavericks in the unique annual event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaughnessy did make it through the second round of the most recent selection process and Gerhardt was an alternate in the 2000 competition -- back when what is now called “Titans of Mavericks” was known as “Men Who Ride Mountains.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'If a woman is hitting the criteria, then they’re going to surf their way into the contest.'\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Darryl 'Flea' Virostko, Committee 5\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“If a woman is hitting the criteria, then they’re going to surf their way into the contest,” said Darryl “Flea” Virostko, who won the contest three times and now serves on Committee 5, the group that selects the surfers invited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So far, a woman hasn’t come to the table doing the stuff that men who aren’t even getting invited are doing,” said Shawn Rhodes, another Committee 5 member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could change next year. In November, \u003ca href=\"http://www.coastal.ca.gov/meetings/mtg-mm15-11.html\" target=\"_blank\">the Coastal Commission\u003c/a> voted 7-4 to require contest organizers to create a plan to include women in future events. In much the same way that the commission can add conditions to its approval of any permit, Commissioner Mark Vargas put forward a motion making inclusion of female surfers a condition of future permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t walk into the meeting thinking I was going to be some kind of feminist champion,” said Vargas, the commissioner for Los Angeles. “I just wanted to follow up and find out if there is a plan. The answers I got from them didn’t inspire confidence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those answers, he felt, lacked details about how surfers are selected in what is a somewhat subjective process, despite \u003ca href=\"http://titansofmavericks.com/criteria/\" target=\"_blank\">a listing of criteria on the event’s website\u003c/a>. He said he also felt there was an attitude that seemed to suggest he shouldn’t be asking any questions in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were comments made at that meeting, and comments have been made in the past, about how women aren’t strong enough, aren’t ready for the biggest waves or that they could die out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two male surfers have died at Mavericks and a woman's attempt to ride the biggest wave ever for a female surfer last year, off the coast of Portugal, resulted in a horrific crash that prompted huge debates within the sport over just how ready women are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that’s total b.s.,” said Paige Alms, a big-wave surfer in Maui, who became the first woman to get barreled at Jaws -- meaning she rode through the barrel of the massive famous Hawaiian wave. She thinks there are already women good enough to be competing at Mavericks, and that if they were really being considered then they'd be included.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10815193\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 680px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10815193\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10815193\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png\" alt=\"Maui big-wave surfer Paige Alms says women are already good enough to surf in Mavericks.\" width=\"680\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png 680w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms-400x222.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maui big-wave surfer Paige Alms says women are already good enough to surf in Mavericks. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/519614730/super-sessions-ii-women-surfing-huge-waves/description\" target=\"_blank\">Super Sessions\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Give us a heat and let us show you,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what an inclusion plan will ultimately look like is still very much up for discussion.

However, some of the female surfers, like Alms, would like to see a separate women’s heat, where they aren’t competing directly against men.

They just want the women to get better before they're added to the contest lineup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to open a door where all of a sudden we’re the fire department and we’re lowering the standards for women,” said Rhodes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question of why women may not be good enough yet, though, does not have a simple answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While surfing has historically been a bit of a boys club, in recent years female surfers on the world tour have become popular in their own right. \u003ca href=\"http://www.worldsurfleague.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The World Surf League\u003c/a>, formerly the Association of Surfing Professionals, has made equality in pay and event access a priority, said WSL vice president Dave Prodan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But big-wave surfing -- the kind of surfing seen on massive, death-defying waves like at Mavericks -- is still predominantly the domain of men. It's an issue that's been discussed at length within the sport, like in \u003ca href=\"http://www.surfermag.com/features/women-big-wave-surfing/#dkJBFLhPU1uz05L1.97\" target=\"_blank\">an article in Surfer Magazine called \"Boys' Club.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, it may be a chicken-egg problem. Are there so few female big-wave surfers because there’s so little opportunity for them or is there so little opportunity because there’s no one to take advantage of it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there is a WSL Big Wave Tour for male surfers, there is no tour for women. A big-wave event at Nelscott Reef in Oregon attracted just three female surfers in 2010, which discouraged the organizers from continuing the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerhardt said that the problem was that the location was so remote and there was so little prize money it would have cost the women more than they could have gained by competing and winning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the top female big-wave surfers are able to make a living at surfing. All have other jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignleft\">\n\u003ch2>Bianca Valenti riding Mavericks\u003c/h2>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/CHFjKrwnwz0'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/CHFjKrwnwz0'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In 2014, eight women showed up at the next event held at Nelscott Reef, just to make a point and to support the women’s side of sport, said Alms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Franciscan Bianca Valenti won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valenti doesn’t make a living surfing. She partially owns a restaurant in San Anselmo with her dad, where she serves as the soigneur and runs the bar. In the mornings, she heads to Ocean Beach to get in as many hours of surfing and training as she can. That’s typical of the life of most female big-wave surfers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big-wave surfing, even more than regular surfing, struggles to attract sponsors. Events, far from the coast and difficult to follow, don’t have as much media attention or as many fans. Trying to extend that small amount of money and time to women spreads it even thinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as Alms and Valenti are quick to point out, it’s men who are in charge of the events, the organizations and the surf companies. So it's men who get to decide where that attention and those dollars go. It doesn't help that when female surfers are featured in photos or ads, there tends to be a focus on bikinis and butt shots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ones who make the most money are basically models for these companies,” said Alms. Big-wave surfers, conversely, tend to be dressed in full wetsuits. They get bloody and beaten up, when they’re not freezing. Basically, there’s a reason Dayla Soul named her documentary about female big-wave surfers \"It Ain’t Pretty\" -- because it really isn't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The women, though, believe that if they just had a platform, then they could win people over with their surfing. That’s why last year a group of them -- Alms, Valenti, Shaughnessy, Gerhardt and another four surfers -- participated in a multimedia project called \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2vblGO9g2E\" target=\"_blank\">Super Sessions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They filmed their own surf sessions over a series of months at different famous surf spots, submitted videos online for viewers to vote on, and even met together at Mavericks to surf it in a sort of informal festival. It’s not an official competition yet, but it’s what they’ve got for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we want something to happen, we have to do it on our own,” said Valenti. However, they fell \u003ca href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/519614730/super-sessions-ii-women-surfing-huge-waves/description\" target=\"_blank\">short of their Kickstarter goal\u003c/a> to fund a second year of Super Sessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's just not that easy to build up the entire future of a sport. The logistics of getting the Mavericks event off the ground each year are also fairly challenging, given the location and small time window. Along with the weather, organizers have to contend with a number of blackout dates from the permitting agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the selected day, there’s a limited amount of time to have all the men surf. Getting a heat of women in as well would be difficult, said Rhodes and Virostko -- but they hope they might be able to fit it in at some point in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Eventually, maybe we could figure something out to have a heat in between the semis and the finals,” said Virostko.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/10794649/mavericks-could-be-required-to-include-women-surfers-next-year","authors":["1459"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_8","news_10"],"tags":["news_136","news_1071"],"featImg":"news_10795841","label":"news_6944"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
