What's up

Highlights from Day 1 of the Corona Fiji Pro presented by Bonsoy 2024 The implications rose to meet the CT’s grand return to Fiji with the Final 5 race growing narrower at every sounding of the horn and the world’s best rose to the occasion. Classic, Gabriel Medina magic, World No. 1’s clinching their place atop the ranks, more Lexus WSL Finals spots clinched, and plenty of high-performance action to enjoy highlighted a momentous day at the pristine lineup of Cloudbreak. Shop WSL and CT official merchandise at http://www.WSLStore.com After a seven-year hiatus, Cloudbreak is back on the Championship Tour schedule as the ninth and final stop of the regular season. The 2024 Corona Fiji Pro presented by Bonsoy will see the top 24 men and 12 women return to one of the world's most perfect and iconic waves. This powerful, left-hand reef break will not only cap the regular season but will officially set the WSL Final 5 roster. Fiji has been home to some of the most memorable moments at the Championship Tour level, including a record four wins by 11x World Champion Kelly Slater who returns to the event this year as a wildcard. Fiji will also welcome back tour veterans such as Gabriel Medina, John John Florence, Tyler Wright, and Tatiana Weston-Webb as well as others who will be competing there for the first time including current world No. 1 Caitlin Simmers and Griffin Colapinto.

Indonesia's Own - Rio Waida // Best Of Growing up surrounded by world class waves in of surfing’s true international mecca’s, Rio Waida is the first Indonesian to qualify for the World Championship Tour, but certainly not the last. According to Indonesian locals, the explosion of youth talent in the regionlately is called “The Rio Effect.” Born to a Japanese mother and Indonesian father, Rio moved to Bali when he was 5 years old. Silver Medalist at the SEA Games in the Phillipines, Rio started to collect WSL trophies young, winning multiple events in Indonesia, then moving onto the Challenger Series, winning in South Africa at the Ballito Pro and at the Sydney Surf Pro, earning his spot on the ‘CT. If there were any questions about his abilities at Teahupo’o, Rio put in an impressive performance at the SHISEIDO Tahiti Pro—where he was finally taken down by a particularly in-form John John Florence in the quarterfinals. #WSL For More Visit: http://www.worldsurfleague.com/
