Mind the (Pay) Gap - with Nirvana

Meet Snowboarder and Zeal Ambassador Nirvana Ortanez. Today she is giving insight into pay discrepancy in the snow sports industry.

You’ve heard it time and time again. It’s on the news, celebrities are buzzing about it, and more women are speaking out against the pay discrepancy. Women are consistently getting paid less than their male counterparts across all jobs. Whether it’s being an actress in Hollywood, a lawyer representing in court, a surfer in the World Surf League, or a snowboarder in XGames, a majority of the time women are getting the short end of the funds. 

I just have to put this out there, but the way the surfing industry is thinking is so damn progressive compared to all other sports right now. The World Surf League aka the WSL on September 5, 2018 announced that any contest that they control in 2019 there will be equal pay for the men and women athletes. Already, the WSL distributes the prize purse based on the proportionate number of athletes in an event. This is something that people are calling for in snowboarding instead of equal pay!!! Surfing has already been doing it this whole time. They are 2 steps ahead of everyone and the existing pay system will not accomplish pay equality until there is an increase of the women’s field. Which shits on the idea of increasing the women’s pay as numbers grow. You go WSL. Making things happen. 

In my opinion, this has been a long time coming. I am an outsider who isn’t in the surf industry, but I feel like the women are promoting surfing just as much as the men are, if not way more than them. On top of the contests and training for said contests, most of them have to double as bikini models, write inspiring quotes on Instagram, be role models, etc. etc. They’re covering more ground, making more impressions, and overall (hopefully) inspiring more girls to go surf or at least hang outdoors. 

Side note something I’ve always wanted to see is more girls having video parts in surf films. Sure you’ve got De Passage, which overall I love, but the montage of chicks under 4 minutes sharing a section labeled “the girls”, was extremely underwhelming. I want to see more than that or just one movie about one female surfer. I want variety. More. More. More. Is it because women don’t have the same opportunities as men in filming too? Or is it because they have to solely focus on contests? Another discussion for another time, but at least the women get to be able to rely on prize purses if they’re surfing in the WSL. End side note. 

After Hot Dogs and Hand Rails at Bear Mountain last weekend there was some stirring of the pot about equal pay in snowboarding. As a rider in it I honestly didn’t know the pay out this year until about half way through the competition (my bad) but after knowing what we’ve gotten in the past it was kind of self inflicted. Ignorance is bliss when you’re riding the same course and the payout is only 1k. Then when I heard what it was my first reaction was: Hell yeah! That’s half of the mens!!! Now post contest there has been some healthy talk with a lot of passionate women snowboarders who were watching the contest and reached out about it. 

“It’s a step in the right direction but if they really wanted to make an impact, this was the perfect opportunity to pay men and women equally. As an outsider I don’t know why they weren’t able to fill in all 10 spots for women but there’s way more females that are more than qualified to win the contest so I’m curious as to why the women attendance was so much lower. Did they boycott HDHR for this reason?” - Gela 

Doing some research and seeing that the WSL has already been doing the proportionate pay scale, I 100% agree with Gela. To make a statement, the sponsors of HDHR and Bear Mountain should consider equal pay. This contest has weathered industry decline, is always the event kickoff to winter, and has been going strong for 15 years now. The answer to why it was so difficult to fill the spots at HDHR is a little more complicated. Reasons can range from September being a busy prep month for the winter, travel to California is expensive, school, recovery time, and you name it, all of the above. I would like to think that raising the prize purse would attract more heavy hitters to come out in the future… 

Leah Bothamley, mother, SoCal native, coach, and backcountry guide professed her feelings of frustration with diversity and equality. Events are closely tied with exposure to non-endemics as well as feeding the core audience. The people who might not be interested in who had the best video part of the year might be interested in watching a contest. Let’s say HDHR, the Olympics, XGames? They see another lady or guy getting after it then suddenly they have interest in trying snowboarding. This is a big part of growing the sport and community. Now we have tools like social media to connect and to reach out to each other about things. 

“When we moved to the Midwest in the 90s, I was in high school and took up snowboarding around 1995 and I have been living sideways on frozen water ever since. I'm telling you this because my life’s work had been to spread the stoke for this life and sport that saved my life. I want to fan the flames of passion for snowboarding and exploring mountains to everyone I meet. I'm pissed off because it's been an uphill battle for 20 freaking years for me to get women to start snowboarding and stay snowboarding.” - Leah Bothamley 

I FEEL that Leah. Getting women to try snowboarding let alone stay in it, used to be difficult, can still be difficult. I think now with splitboarding, camps like Beyond the Boundaries, local Facebook groups, and overall us talking about it all the time is actually doing something. People like Leah and Gela are utilizing the good that comes from social media and are expressing views and opinions on a open platform. People read it, see it, talk about it. So let’s keep this conversation going, shall we?

We are so pumped to have you on the Zeal Team Nirvana!

Here’s what I’m thinking… I would like to get help to build this channel and other social media for this brand… But this channel simply is not bringing in the monthly revenue to ‘hire’ a team member part time… (Oh but you make so much money with Amazon dude! … Well yes but, we’ve decided to keep that business separate from the content business… that’s in a separate bank account etc.. and all cash is being re-invested into products anyway, aside from our salaries….) Amazon cashflow is like THIS… and Youtube is like this…. pales in comparison…. it’s not a lot. The only way this channel is making money is from my Amazon video course.. but it’s not a lot per month.. less than 1k…. and thats going to paying my current full-time vlog editor, and monthly subscriptions for all sorts of digital stuff. SO! I thought I’d put it out there to see if anyone is interested in working WITH me, on a value-exchange basis instead of money exchange. Bascially becoming my ‘Intern’ … and receiving mentorship from me, and help and advice with whatever you are trying to do in life… entrepreneurship.. travel.. etc.... ...and obviously the 2 specific ways that I make money are #1 Amazon Selling and #2 YouTubing… so i can provide special value on those fronts…. but I can also provide a lot of help and value in other areas as well…. online marketing in general… life advise… help getting started with your travel dreams etc….. … the reality is, being in the online game 3+ years now… I could be doing a lot more business models to make money.. but it’s only ME! So I can’t because I simply don’t have the time to start other projects…. I’d also be open to an eventual channel revenue-sharing deal if we work well together…. The ways this channel makes money is the course. Plus a couple hundo a month from youtube views…. BUT I’d like to get the channel up to makeing thousands per month. So let’s work together to come up with the best win-win ways to monetize this channel… offering new digital products, t-shirts, membership groups.. coaching groups.. travel guides.. etc etc. So just hit me up! ✔︎ Facebook Page https://fb.com/livinthatlife/ ✔︎ Email info@livinthatlife.com ✔︎ Instagram – @rileypliez https://instagram.com/rileypliez/ sks will include Video editing Re-packaging content into more viral-potential type videos Building the wordpress blog – getting more videos converted into good articles Getting content on other platforms, like D-Tube, Steem, Facebook, etc Building IG page Helping come up with ideas to monetize, Creating new digital products Help run my course facebook mastermind groups Help promote my course across the internet Be active in my Facebook groups – private and public Help with graphic design stuff, thumbnails and other dope shit to promote…. Desisn t-shirts for Amazon Merch It could potentially lead to a paid position in the future, if you make it so I can’t live without your help… … and potential ‘join the travel team’ position, come and live with us and travel the world with us – the TRAVEL SQUAD, if you will. Cheers! I'm giving it a month then choosing someone! So don't wait if ur interested! by Livin That Life
