For the fourth time, the season will end at Lower Trestles, in San Clemente, USA, with the top five seeded men and women from the season going head to head to determine the champion at the WSL Finals.[2]

Filipe Toledo and Caroline Marks were the defending champions.

The 2024 CT will include nine regular-season events in seven countries. The Mid-season Cut will come into action following Stop No. 5 in Margaret River, Australia. Surfers who make the Cut will compete in Tahiti, El Salvador, and Brazil before a break for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The final event of the regular season will see the world's best surfers return to the iconic Cloudbreak in Fiji and battle for a place in the WSL Finals.[3]

Qualifier Athletes

edit

The first five events of the 2024 Championship Tour will be contested by the WSL top 36 men and top 18 women.

The top 36 men consist of:

  • The Top 22 finishers from the 2023 Championship Tour rankings
  • The Top 10 finishers on the 2023 Challenger Series rankings
  • Two WSL season wildcards
  • Two event wildcards

The top 18 women consist of:

  • The Top 10 finishers on the 2023 Championship Tour rankings
  • The Top five finishers on the 2023 Challenger Series rankings
  • Two WSL season wildcards
  • One event wildcard

The 2024 CT season will start with 36 men and 18 women. Halfway through the season, the field will be reduced to 22 men and 10 women. The top-ranked surfers will automatically requalify for the 2025 CT, as well as continue on to the second half of the Tour, where they will be joined by one men's and one women's season-long wildcard, and one men's and one women's event wildcard.
