To be eligible:

To qualify through the ALAS tour, the surfer must be placed in the top 16.

If a position is not filled through these two tests, it will go to the ranking of the 2023 World Surfing Games.

It is worth noting that each National Olympic Committee "validates" each qualified athlete to go or not after carrying out its quality assessment. It happened for Lima 2019 that there were athletes who qualified but because their NOC considered that they had no chance of a medal, they were denied their participation (read here).
