A finish worthy of the fandom on hand to celebrate the insane conclusion to the inaugural Philippines Pro Presented by Philippines Sporting Commission, crowning Caity Simmers and Gabriel Medina the event victors.
An relentless charge from Simmers overcame all the obstacles from stitches in her foot and sending herself over the falls countless times to rise above the rest for her first win of 2026. Simmers kicked off Finals Day in a battle with 5x World Champion Carissa Moore, and kept her composure in hectic moments as a priority interference was called on Moore following a block on the previous wave. Then, Simmers took that steam into the Final against Cinderella story Isabella Nichols, who had surgery eight weeks ago following Fiji and found herself in back-to-back CT Finals after besting 2x World Champ Tyler Wright. But, it was all Simmers before the men’s Final provided fireworks.
Three-time World Champion Gabriel Medina conquered a pivotal Finals Day in the Philippines to set himself for a fourth World Title after unleashing his El Monstro form. Medina went toe-to-toe with World No. 1, reigning World Champion, Yago Dora, in an airshow for the books before finding arguably the barrel of the entire week against Jack Robinson in the Final. The score nearly touched perfection, earning a 9.43, and paired that with his 7.50 have Robinson in a major combination. But, Robinson fired back with excellence of his own before the ocean let him down for a comeback.
The first-ever Philippines Pro went above and beyond. From the fans backing the world’s best and their own wildcard wonders, to some of the best high-performance showdowns of the season, Cloud 9 will have fans and athletes alike dreaming for years to come.
Now, the full field is ready to return and play ultimate spoiler to the postseason success from Portugal to the Philippines at the Lexus Pipe Masters. Pipeline will once again crown surfing’s World Champion beginning December 8 through 20, and it’s all going down live on WorldSurfLeague.com.

Looking ahead to the Philippines Pro, Paul and Chris discuss the unknowns of Cloud 9, the surfers best positioned to thrive, and their picks for the 2026 world titles.

Post Show: Portugal - Portuguese Pipeline activates, Picklum and Colapinto take the day I Corona Cero Post Show Finals Day

The first postseason stop crowned Molly Picklum and Griffin Colapinto the 2026 MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal Presented by Corona Cero champs, and the World Title race keeps heating up.
A highly anticipated women’s Final provided the goods between two of modern surfing’s leading World Title contenders. 2024 World Champion Caity Simmers and reigning World Champ Molly Picklum took on the pumping Portuguese Pipeline in defining form. Simmers’ lead was cut short by Picklum after locking into a gem, only to reemerge with the roar of the crowd for a 7.83. It was all Picklum, who now takes over the Yellow Leaders Jersey leaving the Old World and heads for more barrels.
Then, a 3x World Champion, Gabriel Medina, and 2025 World Title runner-up, Griffin Colapinto, met in a defining Final showing. Medina wasted no time posting a near-excellent 7.67, but Colapinto wasn’t going down quietly and fired back with excellence, earning an 8.17. El Monstro, Medina, wasn’t done and disappeared with the crowd thinking he was gone and somehow reemerged for an 8.20 and took control. The Final still wasn’t done, delivering an 8.57 for Medina to push Colapinto against the ropes, and the two-time Portugal victor responded with an absolute bomb to post a 9.43 and hang firm to keep his perfect Portuguese Final streak alive to go 3-0.
A clash of Brazilian World Champions set the tone for Finals Day between Medina and Italo Ferriera. Ferreira was on the hunt for a third Portugal podium, but Medina’s 8.17 shut down the hyperactive World Champ ahead of the Final. Then, Colapinto answered back in a World Title Match rematch against reigning World Champ and defending Portugal victor, Yago Dora, to set up his eventual runner-up finish.
Now, the world’s best head for a new barreling venue of Cloud 9 with the same World Title pressure at the Philippines Pro Presented by Philippine Sports Commission beginning October 31 through November 10. Watch LIVE on WorldSurfLeague.com.

2026 Championship Tour rookie Nadia Erostarbe and high-performance coach Natalie Hummel join The Lineup to discuss confidence, pressure, and the mental side of elite surfing. After years of working toward the Championship Tour, Nadia Erostarbe is making her mark in her first full season, with semifinal finishes on the Gold Coast and in Brazil. Joining Dave Prodan alongside her performance coach Natalie Hummel, the Spanish surfer opens up about the highs and lows of her rookie year, the pressure of fighting to stay above the cut in 2025, and the mindset shift that helped her go from wondering if she belonged on tour to believing she could win CT events. Natalie explains how she works with elite athletes to navigate self-doubt, comparison, fear, and the unpredictable nature of competition. They dig into nervous system training, learning to feel safer under pressure, and why trying to control the uncontrollable can take energy away from the things athletes can actually influence. Nadia also reflects on representing Spain on the world stage, the advantages of finding her own path to the CT, and why she believes her journey has unfolded at the right time. She shares how changing her expectations helped her break out of a cycle of low scores and start seeing new possibilities in the water. Nadia talks about her relationship with DHD Surfboards, the boards behind her breakthrough performances, and her hopes for the final stretch of the season. Natalie offers advice for athletes looking to break recurring patterns, face their fears, and trust their own process.

World title-contender and CT standout, San Clemente’s very own Griffin Colapinto joins us on The Lineup podcast. With three events remaining in the 2026 Championship Tour season, Griffin opens up about his World Title pursuit, the evolution of his competitive mindset, and why he believes you can “win the World Title in the preparation.” He breaks down the pressure of competing at home at Lower Trestles, his best-ever heat at Teahupoʻo, and the lessons he’s learned from putting himself in position to win. Griffin also looks ahead to the final stretch of the season, including Portugal, Cloud9 and the 1.5x-points Pipe Masters, and explains why he believes entering Pipe as the No. 1 seed could be critical to his World Title hopes. He opens up about the level of competition on the CT, learning to embrace mistakes, staying focused on his own surfing, and finding the balance between preparation and simply enjoying the process. Elsewhere, Griffin talks about his brother Crosby’s return to the Challenger Series, the work ethic required to reach the next level, his approach to training, and why more free surfing, filming and surf trips could actually make him a better competitive surfer. Griffin breaks down his new Lost Surfboards signature model, the boards he’s relied on throughout his career, his favorite wave on tour, and more in the lightning round.

The 2026 Championship Tour regular season is officially in the books, and Dave Prodan is joined by WSL commentator and surfing analyst Jesse Starling to break down everything that went down at the Lexus Trestles Pro. Erin Brooks and Miguel Pupo took the wins at Lower Trestles, but the biggest story may be just how much the event reshaped the Championship Tour. From Mateus Herdy’s breakthrough run and Luke Thompson taking down the world No. 1 Leonardo Fioravanti, to the Brazilian storm getting knocked back and Oscar Berry finally finding a breakthrough win, Dave and Jesse dig into the biggest winners, losers and surprises from Trestles. They also unpack Erin Brooks’ incredible three-event winning streak and what it means for the women’s World Title race, Miguel Pupo’s emergence as a legitimate threat on the men’s side, and the high stakes surrounding the surfers who fell below the postseason cut. Dave and Jesse dive into the 2026 Surfboard Empire CT Shaper Rankings presented by VEA, the all-JS men’s final and all-Lost women’s final, the experimental equipment making an appearance at Trestles, and why Lower Trestles continues to be such a fascinating testing ground for new designs. Finally, with the Lexus Pipe Masters worth 1.5x points and qualification on the line, Dave and Jesse look ahead to the surfers who could make a run at requalification and the storylines to continue to watch as the season heads toward the North Shore.

The last trek across the tracks was well worth the walk to crown Erin Brooks and Miguel Pupo the 2026 Lexus Trestles Pro champs in picturesque conditions at Lower Trestles.
History was rewritten by Brooks, joining the likes of Stephanie Gilmore with three consecutive CT wins in a single season and launching herself to No. 5 as a proper World Title threat. Then, Pupo’s passion took him all the way atop the podium with relentless excellence from start to finish, culminating in his third CT win.
The new No. 1 Gabriela Bryan’s power went unmatched in the Quarterfinals, posting a 16.26 heat total over Luana Silva, and regained the Yellow Leaders Jersey ahead of then No. 1 Carissa Moore falling to an unstoppable Brooks. The 19-year-old phenom added a third World Champion to her road to victory at Trestles with Molly Picklum in the Semifinals before catapulting to No. 5 on the ranks.
2025 event finalists, reigning World Champion Yago Dora and Southern California’s own Kanoa Igarashi, commanded their Quarterfinal battles with Igarashi finding excellence over Marco Mignot before matching up with Dora in a grudge match. Igarashi kept surging alongside fellow CT veteran Miguel Pupo, who went next level over Mateus Herdy and Cole Houshmand on the road to his Final matchup against Igarashi where fireworks flew and ultimately crowned Pupo the champ.
Houshmand’s unrivaled power provided a masterclass in the Quarterfinals to post an event-best 18.50 heat total in his all-Southern California clash with Jake Marshall, as Marshall’s efforts were enough to push him to the postseason.
Now, the postseason separates the pack and all focus shifts toward a World Title surge at the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal Presented by Corona Cero, beginning October 16 through 25 at the famed Supertubos of Peniche.

Finn McGill joins Dave Prodan on The Lineup for an honest conversation about growing up on Hawaii’s North Shore, chasing the Championship Tour, recovering from a major shoulder injury, and finding balance away from surfing. A former World Junior Champion, QS winner, and longtime North Shore standout, McGill has spent years proving his surfing belongs alongside the world’s best. He opens up about his early rivalry with childhood friend Barron Mamiya, competing against CT surfers like Joel Parkinson from a young age, and translating his powerful, high-speed North Shore surfing to the conditions of the Challenger Series. McGill also breaks down the shoulder injury that abruptly ended his 2026 Challenger Series season, the long road through surgery and rehabilitation, and how injuries have changed his perspective on his career and what it means to be a professional surfer. Finn talks about his relationship with Seager, his deep involvement in surfboard design, growing up skating and surfing, his love of dirt biking, and why stepping away from surfing can actually make him a better surfer.

Cloudbreak saved some of its best for last and delivered an iconic Finals Day at the Fiji Pro Presented by Corona Cero, crowning Cole Houshmand and Erin Brooks the champs.
After another iconic run at Cloudbreak, Brooks' diamond double earned the Pacific Leg sweep and a second Fiji Pro title. An unfortunate injury in her Semifinal sidelined Isabella Nichols for what would've been fireworks in a Final of friends with Brooks. Now, Brooks sits at No. 8 on the rankings heading to Lower Trestles with a chance to truly put her name in the World Title race.
An unprecedented run from Houshmand earned him a third CT win in three Final appearances, cementing himself across the world with victories at Bells Beach, Brazil, and now Fiji. Houshmand sent himself over the ledge throughout Finals Day, culminating in a masterful performance over one of the best to ever take on Cloudbreak, two-time Fiji Pro winner Gabriel Medina in a Final battle. Houshmand's excellence continued from posting a 9.43 in the Semifinals, to an excellent 8.50 over Medina. An insane exchange witnessed Houshmand's ridiculous power get matched by Medina's magic in the Cloudbreak barrel to post a Perfect 10.
Cloudbreak provided every face it could to test the world's best and was one for the history books.
Now, with a surge from those looking for major points continuing to rise, the hunt for a World Title is heating up every event, and now, it heads for Southern California's high-performance haven of Lower Trestles.

The End of the Road gave fans everything and more on an insane Finals Day at the Outerknown Tahiti Pro Presented by I-SEA as Erin Brooks and Seth Moniz rose to Tahitian lore.
Teahupo’o delivered a dreamy Finals Day conclusion to an all-time Tahiti Pro from start to finish. The women’s Final showdown will down in history as one of, if not the best, Final professional surfing could witness at Teahupo’o. 2025 CT Rookie of the Year phenom Erin Brooks and 2026 CT Rookie breakout Anat Lelior battled in the heaving arena with remarkable showings. Lelior had Brooks in an unprecedented position heading into the fading moments of the Final, leaving her in a 16.33 combination situation. But, Brooks fought back and found two incredible barrels, navigating in world-class fashion to post an 8.27 and 8.93 to claim her first-ever win as a full-time CTer, her second-career CT win.
Brooks’ amazing journey to the Final encompassed reigning World Champion and Tahiti Pro champ, Molly Picklum, and best friend Isabella Nichols before one of the most amazing comebacks in surfing history.
Then, it was a battle of brothers in the men’s Final between Seth Moniz and Griffin Colapinto. Colapinto’s start put Moniz against the ropes, who answered back in a big way to post an excellent 8.50 and then locked into a channel erupting 9.07 to leave Colapinto needing nothing short of perfection. Moniz felt all the love from the dedicated fans in the channel all the way to the end and hoisted his maiden CT glory after a hard-fought seven years on Tour.
Moniz’s road to victory was absurdity. Taking down one of the world’s heaviest chargers in Alan Cleland before toppling 2024 Tahiti Pro winner, and 2019 World Champ, Italo Ferreira, then Colapinto in a massive Final.
Defiant runs from Ramzi Boukhiam and Italo Ferreira concluded with Semifinal appearances, pushing Ferreira further atop the leaderboard. Boukhiam’s Quarterfinal performance went down as one of his best-career to date as he moves toward Fiji. Plus, breakout results in the 2026 season for Isabella Nichols and CT Rookie Yolanda Hopkins catapulted them into the requalification fight following Semifinal finishes of their own.
The rankings have been rattled and the Pacific Leg is just getting started. A new men’s World No. 1 Italo Ferreira heads into the Fiji Pro Presented by Corona Cero ready to cement himself atop the rankings as Gabriela Bryan looks to bounce back from an early Tahiti exit and remain in the Yellow Leaders Jersey.
The CT heads for the dream culture of Bula, and the world-class reef of Cloudbreak, beginning August 25 - September 4 where family, the ocean, and beauty meet.

Master shaper, Coronado native, and lifelong surfer, Dan Mann, joins Dave Prodan on The Lineup to pull back the curtain on a career that has taken him from shaping his first boards in the 1990s to working alongside Kelly Slater, Firewire and Slater Designs on some of the most refined high-performance surfboards in the world.
Dan Mann has spent nearly three decades chasing the perfect surfboard, and breaks down his path into shaping, the influence of legendary San Diego shapers, like Rusty and Xanadu, the evolution from hand shaping to CNC technology, and why consistency and engineering have become such important tools in modern surfboard design. He also goes deep on his decade-long relationship with Kelly Slater, including the development of models like the FRK, S-Boss and other Slater Designs boards. Mann also takes Dave behind the scenes of Stab in the Dark X, where he built a board for Kelly Slater under intense time pressure, and discusses the aftermath of seeing his work and personality portrayed in the series. He reflects on the follow-up Ethan Ewing edition, where his board earned major praise and helped showcase the depth of his shaping philosophy.
The conversation gets deep into the details of surfboard design, from PU vs. EPS and Firewire construction technologies to twins, quads, rocker, bottom contours and fin placement. Dan talks about his current Mannkine and Firewire projects, the possibility of helping develop the next generation of CT surfers, and how “not thinking as much” is his next state of happiness.

Five-time returning The Lineup podcast guest, World Title contender, and defending Tahiti Pro Champion Jack Robinson returns to the podcast, days ahead of one of the most anticipated events of the Championship Tour season—the Outerknown Tahiti Pro Presented by I-SEA.
Fresh off a mid-season reset that included a Mentawais boat trip, time with family, and reconnecting with the simple joy of surfing, Robbo opens up about why he's letting go of expectations and embracing a new mindset heading into Teahupo'o. Jack reflects on the biggest changes of his 2026 season, including recovering from surgery, switching to JS Surfboards, working with new coach Luke Egan, and learning to trust the process instead of chasing perfection. He also shares how becoming a father has reshaped his perspective on competition, success, and life beyond results.
Dave and Jack dive deep into the mental side of elite performance, balancing passion with profession, competing against the world's best, Olympic memories with John John Florence, the pressure of expectations, and why the simplest moments in surfing often matter most.

Archy shares behind-the-scenes stories from filming the Kathryn Bigelow cult classic, including working alongside Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, Lori Petty, and the rest of the cast & crew, why Point Break has endured as one of the few Hollywood surf films embraced by surfers, and what it was like returning to film a special introduction for the movie's new 4K theatrical re-release.
The conversation also dives into Archy's groundbreaking competitive career, why his progressive surfing often outpaced the judging of the era, his decision to forge his own path as a free surfer, the influences that shaped his unmistakable style, and why his love for surfing has never faded. Dave and Archy also discuss the evolution of competitive surfing and look forward to Archy competing at the Express Session at the Trestles Pro later this year!

Former Championship Tour surfer, broadcaster, and HaydenShapes USA Brand Manager Tanner Gudauskas joins Dave Prodan as guest co-host to unpack everything that went down at the Surf City El Salvador Pro Presented by Corona Cero. Fresh off the ground as a WSL analyst at Punta Roca, Tanner breaks down the stories behind Carissa Moore’s incredible back-to-back victories, Leo Fioravanti’s long-awaited first CT win, and why Gabriel Medina might be surfing the best he ever has even without a victory yet.

They also explore why this might be the strongest era in women’s surfing history, what Anat Lelior’s breakthrough means for the future, and why Leo Fioravanti has all the tools to become Italy’s first World Champion.

The world’s best showed they were ready to go the distance, with Carissas Moore and Leonardo Fioravanti overcoming the obstacles to claim wins at the Surf City El Salvador Pro Presented by Corona Cero.
An unstoppable Carissa Moore now claims back-to-back CT wins in 2026 with a remarkable run through the Surf City El Salvador Pro, culminating in a win over fellow CT veteran and two-time World Champ Tyler Wright. This marks Moore’s 30th-career CT victory and first in Central America. The five-time World Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist, Moore, continues to raise the bar for women’s power and progression, putting everything into last-minute heroics and excellent showcases. Then the event’s most consistent contender, Leonardo Fioravanti, completed his phenomenal surge all the way to a maiden CT victory over Italo Ferreira. Fioravanti’s third-career CT Final yielded his long-awaited breakthrough win after posting some of the event’s best performances from start to finish, including the event’s best single-score of a 9.00 in today’s Quarterfinals.
Now, Moore moves to World No. 2, as Fioravanti jumps to World No. 3 heading to the VIVO Rio Pro with her family in full support. Plus, sensational runs at Punta Roca earned runner-up finishes for Wright and Ferreira. For Wright, this notes her first CT Final since her last win at Pipeline in 2025, and Ferreira now prepares to surge in home waters with the passion of their country backing him all the way after heroic performances.
The VIVO Rio Pro Presented by Corona Cero is ready to ignite and the world’s best are set for the masses of fans on the beaches of Saquarema beginning June 19 through 27. Watch it all LIVE as the World Title race continues to heat up in LATAM.

Emotions were abundant on a remarkable finish to the Corona Cero New Zealand Pro Presented by Bonsoy, celebrating Carissa Moore and Italo Ferreira’s victories in dedication to their families.
A statement-making win and the most special chair-up for Moore to date ended her full circle moment in New Zealand, where she won her first CT 16 years ago. Moore’s insatiable backhand power led to an incredible comeback against an in-form Sawyer Lindblad, accounting for a 9.40 toward a 29th CT win and her first as a mother.
Following that emotional victory, Ferreira kept the family first mentality as he soared his way to an 11th-career CT victory with his baby and wife back in Brazil cheering him on. Morgan Cibilic made Ferreira work for the win, posting an 8.80 on his backhand, but Ferreira’s firepower was too much and shut down Ciblic’s remarkable run from Round 1 all the way to the Final. Now, the rankings have shifted following major disruptions to the upper echelon with fireworks from those looking for major results. The yellow jersey continues to switch hands, but staying within the Brazilian Storm courtesy of Ferreira.
Finals Day dismantling followed the opening horn, with Cibilic putting the world’s best on notice once more in his CT return and putting on a dominant display over Griffin Colapinto. Plus, Lindblad’s iconic run adds to her recent surge to finish the first four stops on Tour following a tough opener as she now sits at No. 5 on the ranks.
From Manu Bay’s remarkable left of Raglan to the scorching right of Punta Roca, the Tour now prepares to take over La Libertad for the Surf City El Salvador Pro Presented by Corona Cero beginning June 5 - 15.

WSL commentator and Lineup part-time co-host Mitchell Salazar returns to break down everything that went down at the Corona Cero New Zealand Pro presented by Bonsoy. The Championship Tour has officially wrapped its fourth stop and the dust is finally settling on a wild week of competition. Dave and Mitch dive deep into the biggest storylines from Manu Bay, starting with the dominant victories by 5x World Champion Carissa Moore and 2019 World Champion Italo Ferreira, the most potent form of Brazilian Storm we’ve seen yet, and how the right-foot-brigade showed up for the new performance left on tour. They separate the field into the event's ultimate winners and losers, dissecting who capitalized on the momentum and whose title hopes took a serious hit. They check under the hood of the Surfboard Empire CT Shaper Rankings presented by VEIA to see where the board builders sit before stop number five… and muse over the controversial 2+1 setup Filipe Toledo used at Raglan. They talk WSL Fantasy strategy, what the roster looks like ahead of the next event, and wrap things up by answering burning questions sent in by the listeners. Finally, they look ahead to what’s next for the world’s best: the Surf City El Salvador Pro presented by Corona Cero, kicking off June 5th.

“Best day ever.” Stephanie Gilmore said it best. An incredible finish to one of the most memorable CTs in recent memory that was the Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro Presented by GWM, crowned Australia’s own GOAT Gilmore and Ethan Ewing in a Queensland sweep.
The masses made their way down to Snapper Rocks and stacked it to the brim, celebrating a record-setting 34th CT win by Gilmore and Ewing’s second CT win on home soil and third-career CT victory. The GOAT Gilmore reestablished herself as the Queen of Snapper over GWM Aussie Treble winner and new World No. 1 Luana Silva. Then, Ewing’s excellence superseded the decimating backhand power of Connor O’Leary to find his first major result of 2026.
Gabriel Medina is joined by a new yellow leaders jersey with fellow Brazilian Silva claiming the GWM Aussie Treble, and keys to a brand new GWM Tank 300 to conclude the CT’s start in Australia. This marks the first time Silva will wear yellow heading into New Zealand after a Quarterfinal and back-to-back Final appearances to start 2026.
The Boost Mobile Heat of the Day went to the Queensland quarrel between Ewing and Liam O’Brien that down to the final exchange to see who would enter the Final. In the end O’Brien’s last-minute efforts were eclipsed by Ewing’s excellence. Plus, Filipe Toledo took down the mophie Power Move of the Event

Nadia Erostarbe joins Joe Turpel on MEET THE ROOKIE after making history as the first Basque and Spanish woman to qualify for the Championship Tour. Raised in the surf-rich town of Zarautz in Spain’s Basque Country, Nadia grew up surrounded by a tight-knit surf community and inspired by trailblazer Aritz Aranburu.

She shares how working with sports psychology, leaning on her support system, and believing in her dream helped her finally secure her place on Tour. She also discusses traveling with her boyfriend and coach, preparing her quiver with Darren Handley at DHD Surfboards, and her rookie season goals including Rookie of the Year and a Top 10 finish.

Surf journalist and beach commentator Chris Binns joins The Lineup podcast to break down the Western Australia Margaret River Pro Presented by Bonsoy. As the Aussie Treble rolls on, George Pittar claimed a career-defining first CT win over a murderers row of competitors, including an in-form and current World #1 Gabriel Medina. Lakey Peterson returned to the top in powerful form, claiming her second Margaret River win. The conversation dives deeper into the emotional weight lifted off former mid-year cut victims “rewriting their Margies stories,” and why Gabriel Medina looks more dangerous than ever. They also unpack a tough start for the 2026 rookie class across two of the Tour’s most technical waves, ongoing format debates and overlapping heats, and how event pacing shaped the viewing experience. Binnsy touches on Carissa Moore’s inspired comeback mindset, the evolving CT rankings after two unpredictable events, and why Margaret River remains one of the most psychologically demanding stops on Tour – all setting the stage for what’s to come at Stop #3, Snapper Rocks.

The sun has set on the Western Australia Margaret River Pro, and Lakey Peterson and George Pittar leave Margs walking on a dream after their victories.
An insatiable run to the Finals for George Pittar included three Brazilian World Champions before facing 3x World Champion Gabriel Medina in a Final clash. Pittar kept believing and the scores kept coming, posting a 9.00 after judges deemed Medina’s effort for a wave lost him priority and Pittar capitalized for his maiden CT win. For Peterson, it marks her first CT win since 2023 and a second in the Wild West after overcoming a World Champion and fellow Rookie of the Year on the way to her momentous win, sending her atop the rankings.
Another Final appearance at Margaret for Medina sends him to No. 1 leaving the Wild West, with fellow Brazilian competitor Luana Silva earning a second-career CT runner-up. The Brazilian Storm is well and truly established leaving the West, encompassing four Top 5 spots on the men’s side and Silva sitting at No. 4.
The GWM Aussie Trebel Leaderboard is shifting with Medina and Bryan taking the reigns to the Gold Coast, and the final stop to claim a new set of wheels. Plus, the Boost Mobile Heat of the Day belonged to Medina and Samuel Pupo’s Bells Beach rematch, and major shifts in the Surfboard Empire Shaper Rankings Presented by VEIA have Channel Islands right at the top.
Now, the Dream Tour heads for the pristine sand banks of Rainbow Bay and the Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro Presented by GWM May 1 through 11.
