The WSL Longboard Finals, which are starting this year and imitating the format of the controversial Shortboard Finals, will feature the eight best longboarders in the world once the Surf City El Salvador Longboard Classic is over.
According to a schedule distributed among the longboard tour competitors, which DUKE was able to access, there will be two rounds of three-person matches, with those ranked 8, 7, and 6 in the first round, and the winner of this round facing the fifth and fourth.
Then they will go to hand-to-hand confrontations in which the winner of that second confrontation will go against the third, then against the second and finally the first.
Compared to the shortboard finals, for the 8th to win, they will have to go through one more heat. That is, if the 7th, 6th or 3th in the ranking want to become world champion, they must win that heat of three, then another of three, and then against the 2rd, the 1nd and the XNUMXst.
