COOLANGATTA, QLD / AUS (Wednesday, December 18, 2024) – After 12 months of competition at over a dozen events, the race to the 2025 World Surf League (WSL) Challenger Series (CS) for competitors in Asia Pacific will culminate at the all-new Phillip Island Pro Qualifying Series (QS) 3000 event from March 17 – 22, 2025. Thanks to a new agreement between the WSL and the Victorian Government, the Phillip Island Pro will run at Cape Woolamai on the Bass Coast, Victoria. The event will be co-sanctioned between the Australia / Oceania and Asia regions, meaning it is set to attract competitors from over 10 countries in the region, all hoping to book a spot on the 2025 Challenger Series, the ultimate battleground for surfers vying to qualify for the elite Championship Tour (CT) in 2026. “Phillip Island is an incredible area for surfing and has a rich history of hosting competitions right up to the elite level, so it’s a great location to decide the regional representatives for the WSL Challenger Series in 2025,” said Andrew Stark, WSL APAC President. “WSL would like to sincerely thank the Victorian Government for their valued support of this event and their commitment to professional surfing throughout the state of Victoria. With the new WSL Phillip Island Pro Qualifying Series and Pro Junior event, Victoria now plays host to 4 WSL events annually, including events on the WSL Longboard Tour, and the Championship Tour with the historic Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach.” The Australia / Oceania region offers Challenger Series spots for 7 men and 4 women, and 5 men and 3 women for the Asia region. The Phillip Island Pro will play as one of the most important events of the season for competitors and one of the most exciting for fans. “This is a fantastic addition to our packed surfing calendar, showcasing Victoria as the surfing capital of Australia while giving the next generation of talent the chance to live out their dreams and delivering major economic benefits for the Bass Coast region,” said Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Steve Dimopoulos. “This event puts Phillip Island’s world-class waves on the global stage, proving once again that Victoria is the major events capital—delivering not just in Melbourne but right here in regional gems like the Bass Coast,” said Member for Bass Jordan Crugnale. The event will also launch the 2025 Australia / Oceania Pro Junior Series, with over 100 of the region’s best 20-and-under talent expected to compete in the inaugural Phillip Island Pro Junior, which will run within the same window.
