The newly-formed World Surf League (Wsl) Studios unveiled its debut slate of programming on Monday, which includes a documentary film about 11-time World Surf Champion Kelly Slater and the series “Transformed,” highlighting how surfing has impacted cultures around the world.
Designed to appeal to surf fans and new audiences ahead of the sport’s Olympic debut in the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games, the slate of documentaries, docuseries and daily short-form content will be distributed across multiple platforms.
“Kelly is the greatest surfer of all time and has not only every major record in our sport by a wide margin but also so more world titles than any other athlete with 11,” Wsl president of Content, Media and Wsl Studios, Erik Logan, told TheWrap of the “The Kelly Slater Documentary,” which follows the surf legend’s 2019 competitive campaign, personal life, and Olympics quest.

American hero Daniel Hernandez, Jr. is going to be seated with First Lady Michelle Obama at the State of the Union address Tuesday. Hernandez is credited with running towards the gunfire and providing first aid to Rep. Giffords in the Arizona shooting.
Because of declining American fortunes worldwide, in places like Russia, Captain America: First Avenger will be retitled First Avenger. I expect the right wing nutjobs to explode in 3-2-1.
I’m one of the minority who read Dan Savage’s op-ed in the New York Times calling on President Obama to come out for marriage equality in the State of the Union Address, and was happy to see Dan get some space, but really didn’t like the message.
