WSL North American Regional Manager Meg Bernardo talks about the genesis of the World Surf League. As one of the company's very first hires, she shares behind-the-scenes stories of the early days of the WSL, from starting the ASP with Ian Cairns and Peter Townend, to building the foundation and creating the framework for professional surfing, to producing those first tour events, to witnessing the evolution of both pro surfing and the league itself. She describes her path into surfing after moving from the midwest to Huntington Beach, finding her place in the lineup, and then pursuing a career in the sport. She also gives her thoughts on the current Championship Tour and Rip Curl WSL Finals format, reveals the best character from her time in pro surfing, and remembers hiring our very own Dave Prodan.
