The international competition has come under fire for inequality. Thoughts?
The debate on pay disparity between men and women's sport has been an ongoing hot topic for years, but the latest point of contention comes all the way from South Africa.
Earlier this week the Billabong Junior Series Ballito Pro announced its winners for the men's and women's under-18s with a picture on the official Facebook event.
There was an outcry from the public when Indonesia's Rio Waida was awarded $8000 (ZAR) in prize money for competing in the men's competition, while South Africa's Zoe Steyn was only gifted $4000 (ZAR) for taking out the women's comp.
The $4000 gap in prize money has sparked heated debate around the globe.
HuffPost spoke to Bongani Xulu, vice-president of Surfing South Africa trying to get his view of the situation. However, he would not comment on the pay gap, saying only: "We are trying to mend it and make it right."
The World Surf League is yet to comment.
