Historic, exciting, frustrating, surprising! There is no shortage of adjectives to describe what I felt watching the women’s debut in Pipeline.
For the first time in the history of competitive surfing, women will have the same opportunities as men. The same number of stages, in the very same places.
In addition to the prizes that are already being paid equally, now professional women surfing will have the chance to enjoy spots like Pipeline, which was for years “no women’s”.
Despite the sea conditions, which were not very exciting, the women surprised. Whether by the performance of newcomers, or by the tireless Bethany Hamilton, who was announced at the last minute as Stephanie Gilmore’s replacement. The Australian has COVID.
It certainly wasn’t the sea I expected to see the women’s official debut in Pipeline. However, certain performances from yesterday suggest that soon, the world will witness women’s surfing in a way that was never imagined.
Long live all the women of the sea!
