The Inertia

The World Surf League has announced the competitors and wildcards for the 2024 WSL Longboard Tour. It will host 24 men and 24 women, consisting of top 10 qualifiers from the 2023 Longboard Tour, regional qualifiers, season wildcards, and event wildcards.

The first event of the Tour is the Bioglan Bells Beach Longboard Classic, with a competition window from July 18-21. Next up is the Huntington Beach Longboard Classic, between August 3 and 11. The third stop has yet to be announced, but the WSL clarified that we will learn more in the coming weeks. The tour will cap off with a championship event that will see eight men and eight women battle for world titles in a one-day competition at El Sunzal, El Salvador, between October 9 and 13.

Though three-time WSL Longboard World Champion Joel Tudor has apparently had his eligibility reinstated since he was suspended from the Tour in 2021, he will not be making an appearance in 2024. With no finishes in the 2023 season, his only path to qualification would have been a wildcard, which he did not receive.

Below is the full list of competitors.
