Paris 2024 will take place between 26 July and 11 August; the dates for the surfing event have not yet been published.
It is known that the wave chosen for the event is Teahupoo, that the Olympic village will be made of recyclable materials taking care of the natural environment of the place and that the capacity of people to watch the event will be 1.500.
Since Teahupoo is an outside wave, it is not known how the possibility of the public seeing the test in situ will be implemented.
