EP 93: Travis Logie - Inventing the Finals format, WSL's new three-tier system, Top moments from a decade on tour, The Golden Age of the Quiksilver team, His road from Durban to the CT, Jordy Smith hype, and Promising young South African surfers

Former Championship Tour surfer and current WSL Senior Manager of
Tours & Competition Travis Logie talks about the massive
changes in pro surfing over the past few seasons. Hear straight
from the mouth of the inventor of the Rip Curl WSL Finals format
how he came up with the idea, how it became a reality, and how he
thought it worked in its first year. He describes the new
three-tier system in pro surfing, with the Championship Tour,
heightened Challenger Series, and regional Qualifying Series, and
how it will impact the sport going forward. He then dives into his
own long career as a pro, from growing up in Durban, South Africa,
getting a late start in surfing, winning the ISA games, and
eventually competing for ten years on the CT. Travis also touches
on stories from the golden days of the Quiksilver team, his wild
re-surf at Teahupo’o against good friend Jordy Smith, explosive
talents like Jordy and Dane Reynolds, and which young South African
surfers to watch out for." ----------- Oceans Not Oil Petition:
