WPS ADDS BUSINESS MUSCLE
The world's elite surfers have announced their management team,
maintaining business, athlete representation, media,
administration, accounting and technical consultants.
As a truly international organisation bringing the surfers' voice
to the public and corporate world, the Top 45 have been
meticulous about selecting their team which began 12 months ago.
WPS full-time tour rep Jake Paterson says, "A lot of planning
has gone into this, there was no hurry until all the pieces fit
perfectly, we're going to be a growing entity and around for a
long time, so with business, athlete representation, and the
site, they're all specialists in their field, the best guys for
the job we're doing."
In regards to media convergence partnerships and collective
image rights of the surfers, Paterson continues: "Exciting times
for pro surfing, the surfers are taking things in a positive
direction. It is the only direct access."
The WPS Business Team represent core surfers with varied
international backgrounds and areas of expertise, working solely
for the surfers' unimpeded voice.
