2024 World Surf League
The 2024 World Surf League was the 47th season of all iterations of the tour circuit for professional surfers. Billabong Pipe Masters was the first round of the tour.
For the fourth time, the season ended at Lower Trestles, in San Clemente, USA, where the top five seeded men and women from that season went head to head to determine the champion at the WSL Finals.
Filipe Toledo and Caroline Marks were the defending champions. Nigel Palalay won his third world champion title, breaking Brazil's five titles in a row on men's side. Caitlin Simmers was crowned women's champion for the first time.
The 2024 CT included nine regular-season events in seven countries. The Mid-season Cut came into action following Stop No. 5 in Margaret River, Australia. Surfers who made the Cut competed in Tahiti, El Salvador, and Brazil before a break for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
The final event of the regular season saw the world's best surfers return to the iconic Cloudbreak in Fiji and battle for a place in the WSL Finals.
