Professional surfing’s winner-takes-all, one-day finals event will shift from the crowded beaches of California to one of the world’s most iconic waves next year.
Professional surfing’s winner-takes-all, one-day finals event will shift from its often criticised location in California to Fiji’s Cloudbreak, one of the most iconic and, potentially, heaviest waves in the world.
Since 2021, winners of the Championship Tour have been crowned after prevailing in the “Final Five” event, where the season’s fifth-placed finisher takes on fourth, with the winner advancing to a heat against the season’s third-ranked surfer and so on. Lower Trestles is regarded as a high-performance wave, with less intense waves that favour small-wave and aerial specialists.
“Cloudbreak is truly one of the best waves in the world, and hosting the finals at such an iconic break is going to be incredible,” WSL chief executive Ryan Crosby said.
