Gabriel Medina Undergoes Surgery After Pectoral Injury in Maresias
According to a WSL representative, it all comes down to the type of withdrawal. If Gab pulls out for the entirety of 2025, his spot would go to #23 on the 2024 CT, Samuel Pupo. However, since Samuel already requalified via the Challenger Series, the additional spot would pass onto the next surfer in line […]
According to a WSL representative, it all comes down to the type of withdrawal. If Gab pulls out for the entirety of 2025, his spot would go to #23 on the 2024 CT, Samuel Pupo. However, since Samuel already requalified via the Challenger Series, the additional spot would pass onto the next surfer in line on the CS — Mexico’s Al Cleland Jr. This would be a full-time spot on tour and would make 2025 Al’s official rookie year on the CT.
“Last Thursday, I suffered a pectorial injury and this morning I underwent a surgical procedure to begin treating this injury. I was preparing and very focused for the 2025 season, but unfortunately I will be out for a while.”
No specifics on the severity, but surgery and vague timelines point to something serious. Orthosports suggests major pectoral tears take six months to heal post-surgery, followed by rehab to rebuild strength. In short: Medina’s odds of competing in the first half of the season (and thus qualifying for the WSL Finals) are slim.
A huge loss for surf fans who were eager to see apex Gabby scalp-hunting on tour this year. But one person’s misfortune is another’s golden ticket. Who gets that ticket, though, will depend on the severity of Gabby’s injury.
CT door blows open: Ian Gentil or Al Cleland?
Gabs, slightly off balance mid-maneuver, threw a hand back for balance. His hand skidded, the weight shifted, and the strain tore straight through his chest. As of an hour ago, Medina confirmed via Instagram that he’s undergone surgery to repair the damage.
Gabriel Medina’s 2025 CT campaign has hit an early wall. The 3x World Champ tore his pectoral muscle last week in Maresias during a tube-to-oop attempt gone sour.
While Gabby’s misfortune is a tough pill to swallow, it’s essentially handed someone else a chance to define their future. Who it is, though, depends on how badly Gabby’s hurt. If it’s lights out, Al Cleland steps up. If it’s just a niggle, Ian Gentil gets another shot.
On the other hand, if Gab decides to withdraw on an event-by-event basis, #24 from last year’s CT, Ian Gentil, would fill Medina’s spot in any events that he misses. During that time, any points Ian accrues would be admissible toward his season total, meaning he can requalify for 2026 by making the mid-year cut.
The WSL Commissioner’s office is currently working through the formal process with Gabriel’s team, and they’re expecting to hear back from them on Monday.

The St. Charles, Illinois, native was UW’s Big Ten Medal of Honor recipient, one of the highest honors given by the conference. Liking was a four-time Big Ten Cross Country Champion and a five-time All-American during his time as a Badger.

Hello, Sun Devil fans! My name is Andrew Hayslett, and I am excited to join Devils in Detail as a contributor! I just completed my sophomore year at Arizona State, as I am studying sports journalism. I am already looking forward to being back in the fall.
I have lived my entire life in the Phoenix metro area as a casual Arizona State fan. My first ASU game was a memorable one; it was the monsoon game against Southern Utah, which was delayed for a few hours. I did not stay to watch the game, but I was hooked on ASU sports from that point on. Throughout my two years at ASU, I have attended games for 10 different Sun Devil sports.
In my sophomore year, I joined one of the student-run clubs, where I wrote articles about the Sun Devil water polo team. I was then chosen to cover ASU baseball and football, and was fortunate to cover the Big 12 Baseball Championships. I wrote previews, game recaps and sidebars, which will be the type of articles I will write here, along with breaking news and features.
I believe it is an exciting time for Sun Devil Athletics as the majority of ASU teams have recently made the NCAA postseason. I look forward to covering the defending Big 12 champions in football and volleyball. I’m also excited to cover ASU hockey, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s basketball.
Follow my X (formerly known as Twitter) as I frequently provide updates for Sun Devil Athletics there. Forks up!

Oral Roberts
Jordan Wenger opened up competition at the NCAA West Preliminary rounds for the Golden Eagles in the men’s high jump. He cleared 6-10 ¼ (2.09m) on his second attempt but couldn’t get over 7-0 ¼ (2.14m) to stay alive in the competition ultimately placing 25th.
