Snapper Rocks will once again be a stage on the CT from 2025 to 2028, the WSL announced in a press release.

The news comes after a partnership was created between the WSL, Gold Coast Tourism and Queensland Tourism, the statement said.

“I’m so excited to see Snapper return to the CT calendar in 2025. It’s obviously my wave and one of my favorite waves on the planet, but it’s incredibly high performance and offers a bit of everything which is fun for both surfers and fans. There’s really nothing like having that perfect canvas in front of you with a huge crowd cheering from the beach just a few feet away. It’s a real spectacle and has a very rich history. It belongs on the Championship Tour and I can’t wait to compete there again next year,” said one of the best surfers on the wave, Stephanie Gilmore.

“The WSL is absolutely thrilled to see Snapper Rocks once again become a stop on the Championship Tour. It’s an event with a fantastic history, held at a venue that has pro surfing in its DNA. The long, perfect walls of the ‘Super Bank’ are one of the wonders of the surfing world, and we can’t wait to see the world’s best compete for Championship Tour points on one of the highest-performing waves on the planet,” said WSL APAC President Andrew Stark.

“We predict that nearly 14.000 people will flock to Snapper Rocks, renowned for being one of the world’s longest and best waves, to enjoy the event, and we know that whilst they are here, they are sure to enjoy the event. They will make the most of the diverse experiences the Gold Coast has to offer, which will be welcomed by our visitor economy, injecting a whopping $2,9 million in direct and incremental spend,” said Patricia O’Callaghan, CEO of Tourism and Events Queensland.
