This is a special edition of The Inertia podcast where we talk with Erik Logan, CEO of the World Surf League. The WSL, like most professional sports leagues, has had to deal with unprecedented circumstances this year to simply operate. But surfing is a different animal all together from football or basketball or baseball. There isn’t a more international sport where athletes must be moved between nations and states and municipalities, all with different protocol to deal with the pandemic. In his first year, Logan has had to navigate these circumstances like no director before him. To say we’re living in different times is an understatement. I spoke with Erik about those challenges, the recent changes to the Australian leg of the tour, what we can expect from the rest of the year, the resignation of Pat O’Connell and more.
