Windsurfing: PWA World Tour menâs and womenâs divisions to receive equal pay By Syndicated Content

(Reuters) â The Professional Windsurfers Association (PWA) on Wednesday announced that its World Tour will introduce equal prize money in the menâs and womenâs fleets starting in the 2021 season.
Following the footsteps of the Gran Canaria PWA World Cup, which has offered equal pay since 2018, all the athletes on the Tour events who earn prize money will receive the same amount for their finishing position, regardless of gender.
Organisers are hoping these changes will help further boost the growing participation in the womenâs division.
