After ten events, the final five men and women have been decided and the WSL Finals are upon us. For the third time, it’s this event – rather than simply the accumulation of points throughout the season – which will determine our two world champions, and as it has over the past two years will …
Just one event remains on the Championship Tour, but the top five remain far from settled on both the women’s and, in particular the men’s side. The Corona Open J-Bay didn’t result in too many drastic changes in the standings, but a couple of major moves were made by some key competitors, so let’s take …
A pair of surprise results at the VIVO Rio Pro have thrown both the men’s and women’s world rankings on their heads, and with just two events remaining, there are still plenty of potential WSL Finalists, particularly on the men’s side. Jeffrey’s Bay always makes for compulsory viewing and as the penultimate event of the …
There are now just three events left in the Championship Tour season before the WSL Finalists are decided, and there are still plenty of potential top five finishers on both the men’s and the women’s side of the draw. The VIVO Rio Pro has been a consistent presence on the tour for over a decade, …
With the Surf Ranch Pro now behind us, just four events remain on the Championship Tour before our final five are decided and we head to Trestles for the WSL Finals. Next up is the Surf City El Salvador Pro in the long, rippable right that is Punta Roca, an event which was last year …
With the mid-season cut now behind us, just 22 men and ten women (plus a wildcard each) remain in the title race. And, as though the World Surf League has a fetish for criticism, their fixturing will now see the Championship Tour head to Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch for almost certainly its most unpopular event, …
The mid-season cut has not been the most popular addition to the Championship Tour from the perspective of either fans nor competitors, but it’s sure set to make the Margaret River Pro pretty damn interesting. This is the final event before a significant chunk of surfers is cut from both the men’s and the women’s …
The WSL season is already nearing its midway point, with the fourth of ten events set to begin next week. And it’s a big one. The Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach is the longest running professional surfing tournament in the world, bringing the world’s best surfers together at one of the most recognised breaks …
After Carissa Moore started off the season looking every bit the best surfer in the world when winning at Pipeline, it was a less recognised name taking out the second event of the season. Molly Picklum won her first ever CT event at Sunset Beach, lifting herself to equal first in the world rankings in …
The Hawaiian leg of the 2023 Championship Tour is now complete, with both Jack Robinson and Filipe Toledo saluting at the Billabong Pro Pipeline and Hurley Pro Sunset Beach respectively as they begin their hunt for this year’s world title. Now, we head to Europe. This is the second event in the first three of …
Pipeline didn’t quite live up to our very lofty expectations to kick off the season, but with improved conditions at Sunset Beach we saw some more entertaining competition at the women’s Hurley Pro – albeit still not at the level this wave is capable of producing. Still, there were plenty of talking points to arise …
After an underwhelming beginning to the year at the Billabong Pro at Pipeline, the forecast looked a little better – albeit still not fantastic – for the men’s Hurley Pro Sunset Beach. And that’s how it turned out, with solid conditions prevailing throughout much of the event window. A few big scores at the tail …
Conditions at the season-opening Billabong Pro didn’t make it particularly easy for anyone to show what they are capable at Pipeline at just the second full women’s CT event there in history, but nonetheless we ended up with a final which may well be an indication of signs to come this year. Carissa Moore and …
After the season started in underwhelming fashion at Pipeline, the Championship Tour now heads to Sunset Beach for the Hurley Pro with only a couple of days to catch our breath. Fortunately, after a slow first couple of days of the event window conditions are looking a lot better for this contest than the Billabong …
The Women’s Billabong Pro Pipeline returned for just its second edition, kicking off the 2023 Championship Tour in conditions which were a long way from Pipe at its best. Scores throughout were subsequently quite low and the contest won’t exactly be remembered as one for the ages, but nonetheless 10,000 points were on offer and …
