World Surf League's Santa Monica HQ for Sale at $14 Million
The World Surf League is moving…so it seems.
Per a listing from Los Angeles commercial real estate firm, Beitler, and photos showing a “for lease/sale” sign on the WSL’s HQ, something is happening in Santa Monica.
The listing price? $14,150,000.
According to the listing:
“Beitler Commercial Realty Services is Pleased to Offer for Sale, 145 - 147 Bay St. & 1920 Main St. This Prime Investment Opportunity or Owner/User Opportunity is in the Heart of Santa Monica.

“With its unique combination of construction types and visibility, the Property offers tremendous flexibility to accommodate a variety of uses, Bay & Main is a rare opportunity for buyers looking to own a historic landmark that fits seamlessly within Santa Monica’s work-play standard of living.

"Excellent Owner-User/Investment Opportunity in Prime Santa Monica Location”
What’s it all mean? Financial trouble in (pro surfing) paradise? Downsizing?
Or just a move of locations?
After reaching out to the WSL, it seems like the latter:
"The WSL is relocating its HQ to a newly renovated space in the South Bay," a WSL spokesperson told SURFER. "The transition has begun, and the new space should be ready by the end of November."
Stay tuned.
