Surfer Johanne Defay, of France, leaves the water after a workout at Surf Ranch during practice rounds for the upcoming Olympics Tuesday, June 15, 2021, in Lemoore, Calif. Defay is headed to the Olympics for surfing's debut at the Games, buoyed by an upset win against reigning world champion Carissa Moore, 28, at the high-intensity Surf Ranch competition last month. Though there's much excitement and renewed enthusiasm for the women's game, the objectification, pay disparities and opportunity gap have taken its toll. Industry leaders say they're committed to righting the wrongs that have long held female surfers back in the male-dominated sport. The mental, financial and logistical roadblocks for women in surfing date back centuries. (AP Photo/Gary Kazanjian)
