The 2020 World Surf League season has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“While we firmly believe that surfing is amongst the sports best suited for competition to be held safely during the age of unresolved COVID, we have huge respect for the ongoing concerns of many in our community as the world works to resolve this,” WSL CEO Erik Logan said, according to the organization.
The WSL schedule was due to start in late March, but the opener in Gold Coast, Australia, was canceled 11 days before its start due to the virus.
