Non, mais c'est le moyen de déveloper le sport.

PWA merdique (comme maintenant) -> Peu de retombées médiatique
Plus de PWA du tout -> Pas de retombées médiatique

Tout a fait ce que je voulais entendre.
Et la solution c'est quoi?

Maintenir en vie la PWA actuelle en limitant les degats, et creer/sponsoriser des evenements de promotion en parallèle:
- Competes sur des spots de reves (pour faire rever, justement).
- Competes locales genre Le Défi pour les médias généralistes.

Sinon, Faire des films de windsurf (de qualité) payés par la pub et proposés gratuitement aux chaines grand public.

.... Et acheter son matos chez les marques qui favorisent le sport. tongue.gif

On va encore m'accuser de boycotte... rolleyes.gif

Exocet, Angulo, Ezzy, Hot Sails, Challenger, Space dog, Loftsails, RRD, AB+, Hifly, Gun Sails, Goya et pas mal d'autres marques n'y sont pas non plus: la cotisation est sans doute trop chère pour les petites marques, pour d'autres c'est un choix délibéré de ne pas payer pour des retombées quasi nulles... mais effectivement on peut considérer que les retombées seraient meilleures si la PWA disposait de plus de moyens, bref c'est un cercle vicieux: c'est dommage mais c'est comme ça!

Pour les anglophiles/phones:

EVOLUTION OF THE ASP

Back in the 60's when the first structured competitions were introduced to the sport, the guys and gals all did it for love and ego. There was no sponsorship, certainly no surfing industry, just a bunch of teenagers who gathered intermittently and pitted their respective skills against each other.

This was truly the amateur era. It is hard to think of greats such as Midget Farrelly, Joey Cabell, Mike Doyle and Bob McTavish as amateurs, but the truth of it is that after winning their respective National Championships and various international meets, there wasn't much else for them.

While the camaraderie and spirit were rich, there was very little in the way of monetary compensation from endorsements, and certainly no prize money. The rewards were personal achievement, and in line with all amateur sport of the era, time at the top was limited.

As we went from the swinging, counter culture 60's into the 70's, isolated pockets of structured competition surfing began to emerge. Hawaii was already well along the road to professionalism, with events such as the Smirnoff Pro, The Duke Kahanamoku Classic, and the Pipeline Masters offering around $10,000 in prize money.

The new superstars of the sport were Jeff Hakman, Reno Abellera and Gerry Lopez. These surfers, along with Nat Young and David Nuuiwa, were supplementing their prize money with endorsement contracts.

While the surfing industry was in it's formative stages in Australia, Hawaii and Japan, and not even on the distant horizon in Europe and South America, it was well established in California. Riding on the coat tails of gidget, the beach boys and the surf craze of the 60's, labels had established themselves and were turning to the heroes of the day to identify the public to their branding.

By the mid 70's events had popped up from Sydney to Rio, from Florida to Durban. This loose knit belt of tournaments was strung together in 1976 in what would prove to be the embryonic stage of ASP. World Champions Mark Richards and Shaun Tomson ushered in the new era, and by 1984 the tour had expanded to in excess of 20 internationally rated events.

Tom Carroll and Tom Curren were the superstars and their contribution, plus a booming surf industry, paved the way for enormous growth. With over 60 pro events worldwide, the ASP introduced a two-tiered system of ratings in 92, incorporating the Top 44, who automatically qualified for the World Championship Tour. And the World Qualifying Series, WQS, that became the feeder system for the WCT.

After several years of consolidation, ASP took aim in a dynamic direction. In a somewhat radical departure from the 80's and early 90's tour look, event promoters were encouraged to stage WCT events at prime surf locations.

The industry caught on quickly, the big name labels, as part of a global promotions strategy, began positioning their respective events at such exotic and legendary locations as G-Land, J-Bay, Mundaka, Tavarua, Tahiti and Trestles

There has been a distinct policy at ASP to stage events at legendary wave locations, in the right season, with a waiting period, with the objective being to procure a great result with surf, media and the ASP World Tour.

That shift in focus is a far cry from the 80's and early 90's when WCT events were staged at metropolitan beaches in the middle of summer, with the objective of filling grandstands and getting butts on beaches. Too bad the surf did not pump until the fall, and many grandstand events, locked into a Sunday arvo finish, were subject to consistently poor surf.

There are still some grandstand events on the calendar, maintaining the public face of the sport as well as the all-important public accessibility to the world's best surfers.

The new ASP, however, has implemented a formula that literally beams these insane images of the world's elite pro's at the world's most dynamic surf venues, directly into the global lounge room.

The main thrust of the ASP/TWI association is to produce quality television broadcasting, to produce daily highlight packages, uplinked by satellite to global networks. This service, combined with the enhancement of our existing media unit of digital imagery and daily press releases, will drive surfing to a far broader global audience.

In 2004 the ASP World Tour will feature all disciplines of the sport. The World Longboard Championships where held in France, with prodigious Californian Joel Tudor clinching his second ASP world title. The Billabong World Junior Championships will again be held at Narrabeen, Australia the first week of January 2005. The Women's WCT boasts some awesome stand alone events in Fiji, France, California and two in Hawaii, while the Men's WCT, with the re-establishment of Japan as a host nation, offer a full book of internationally licensed events at the worlds premier surf breaks.

The new-look ASP, under former World Champion Rabbit Bartholomew, features a 5-person Board of Directors. ASP is about to embark on a dynamic phase in its development. There is a certain maturity about ASP these days. Having been around for 28 years now, and experienced the trials and tribulations that come with infancy and adolescence, ASP goes forward into the future with a vision, with a plan, and with a cohesive team of dedicated individuals that will see the dream become a reality.
