There were many predecessors to the World Surf League (or International Professional Surfing as it was known before) but WSL is the only international surfing association as many of its competitors including the International Surfing Association(ISA), or previously known as the International Surfing Association(ISF), represents individual professional surfers and not surfers that represent any particular country. WSL started hosting women’s surfing events as well in the year of 1999 and announced equal pay to male and female WSL event champions on September 5, 2018.

My Best Ten surf spots in the world - Ulu watu, Bali Uluwatu is a spot on the south-western tip of the Bukit Peninsula of Bali, Indonesia. Uluwatu was "found" as a surfing spot in 1972 and is known for its clifftop sees and being home to a portion of Bali's best sea shores.
