Where the Pacific's perfect right-hand point break meets an unparalleled competition venue, the Surf City El Salvador Pro delivers an opportunity for CT athletes to earn critical points in the rankings ahead of the Mid-season Cut. Long, powerful walls offer endless opportunity for progressive maneuvers while the hollow sections demand split-second decision-making that can test even the most seasoned CT competitor. As the season's fourth event, El Salvador marks a pivotal moment in World Title campaigns.
The MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal presented by Corona Cero will showcase elite surfing at Supertubos, one of Europe's premier beach breaks known for its powerful, hollow waves and consistent barrels. As the third stop on the 2025 World Surf League Championship Tour, this event is crucial for competitors looking to build momentum in their World Title campaigns. In addition, significant points are on the line for those looking to remain above the mid-season cut line. Fresh off of the Abu Dhabi wave pool event, the cold water wave's unique combination of power and fast takeoffs makes it an ideal stage for progressive surfing and dramatic competition.
