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 …
Just a couple of short years ago, the women’s Championship Tour had never been to Pipeline, but that all changed when their 2021 Maui Pro was moved there from Pipeline partway through the contest. After the success of that event – or the end of it – the 2022 season started with the first ever …
The first event of the season is upon us, and for the third successive year it will kick off at one of the finest waves on the planet. The Billabong Pipeline Masters is one of the most highly anticipated events of every season wherever it is on the calendar, and this year is no different. …
The 2022 Men’s Championship Tour saw Filipe Toledo finally earn his maiden world title, but he did so in the absence of Gabriel Medina and John John Florence. This year, he won’t have that luxury, though he will nonetheless be a major contender. Those three round out the favourites, but the current quality at the …
The 2023 World Surf League is almost upon us, with the Championship Tour set to begin with the Billabong Pro Pipeline on the 29th of January. The women’s side of the tour will likely see the usual suspects competing at the pointy end of the season, but there isn’t a great deal separating them. With …
After a pulsating WSL Finals Day to determine the 2022 world champions – a day which culminated in Stephanie Gilmore winning a record eight title in incredible fashion, and Filipe Toledo breaking through first his first – the professional surfing world’s head has turned to the next season. Set to kick off in late January, …
With just a solitary world title between the five men competing at the 2022 WSL Finals – fourth seed Italo Ferreira the only competitor to win one in the past – it was overwhelmingly likely that a new champion would be crowned by day’s end. With inexperience as prevalent as it was, performance under pressure …
