| 429 | 25 Oct 2004 | Mark Jents | Cape Town | South Africa | Over the last few years it has become apparent that the negative relations between surfers and bodyboarders is GRADUALLY dissipating. The "general atmosphere" in the water is improving: surfers are beginning to accept bodyboarders and bodyboarders are beginning to respect surfers. It is not only this "general atmosphere" that reinforces my sentiment, but actual incidents:
… 10 years ago who would have believed that a prominent north-shore stand-up local would support (fight for) a bodyboarder over a surfer?… no one! Yet incidents such as this reflect an unbiased attitude that is slowly making its way into the global waters.
In general, things are making a much-needed turn for the good. However, this happens bit-by-bit and only over a long period of time.
By refusing to give a permit for the bodyboarding competition at pipeline the city and county of Honolulu is sending a poignant message that will unravel all such advances. It is not the fact that they are denying the bodyboarding competition a permit, it is the fact that they are denying the bodyboarders what they have granted the surfers. The message being that surfers have some sort of divinely imposed righteousness that makes them superior to bodyboarders. What is worse is that the message is being institutionalised!
A situation such as this can only have ill effect. Bodyboarders across the globe will see this as an attack on their sport, and a blatant abuse of their right to equality. The problem is that they will not take their qualms to the city and county of Honolulu, they'll take them to the surfers. Hence, by denying the WST a permit, the city and county of Honolulu are "re-instituting" an age-old feud.
I urge those concerned to have some foresight. Revoke your decision and save not only a prestigious event, but also years of work that has gone into creating an understanding between surfers and bodyboarders.
