1 round:
Series 1: Yago Dora (BRA) vs. Kalani David (HAW) vs. Harry Bryant (AUS) vs. Finn McGill (HAW) vs. Mitch Parkinson (AUS), vs. Aaron Kelly (USA)

Series 2: Italo Ferreira (BRA) vs. Matt Meola (HAW) vs. Noa Deane (AUS) vs. Kael Walsh (AUS) vs. Thomas Woods (AUS) vs. Filipe Toledo (BRA)

Series 3: Jack Freestone (AUS) vs. Eithan Osborne (USA) vs. Chippa Wilson (AUS) vs. Reef Heazlewood (AUS) vs. Coby Perkovich (USA) vs. Mateus Herdy (BRA)

Of these participants, the six with the best scores will qualify for the grand final, regardless of their position in the series.

This will be the first of three stages, the other two will take place in Keramas and Hossegor.

Mexican Sebastian Williams will not be present in this edition, nor will Hector Santamaria appear among the competitors.

It was learned a month ago that the Puerto Rican was invited but did not have the funds to travel. He organized a gofundme but received 150 of the 10.000 dollars he was asking for to travel.
