WSL Live coverage of the 2026 Fiji Pro Presented by Corona Cero — August 25 to September 4 at Cloudbreak, Fiji.
The last time the full CT field competed at Cloudbreak was 2017. After six years off the schedule (2018–2023), Fiji returned in 2024 for mid-season cut surfers only, then hosted the 2025 WSL Finals — a one-day, ten-surfer shootout that crowned Molly Picklum and Yago Dora as World Champions. Iconic, but not the full tour.
This year, every CT surfer gets a crack at it. That means dozens of pros stepping into Cloudbreak's lineup competitively for the very first time, which historically shakes up the rankings dramatically. Think of it as the great equaliser — form counts for nothing if you've never navigated that particular reef.
As Stop No. 8 with four events left in the season, the Fiji Pro is the clearest bellwether of who'll be in the title hunt come Pipeline.
| # | Surfer |
|---|---|
| 1 | Italo Ferreira BRA 🇧🇷 |
| 2 | Leo Fioravanti ITA 🇮🇹 |
| 3 | Yago Dora BRA 🇧🇷 |
| 4 | Griffin Colapinto USA 🇺🇸 |
| 5 | Gabriel Medina BRA 🇧🇷 |
Ferreira leads but the gap is tight — Dora, Fioravanti, and Colapinto are all within striking distance.
| # | Surfer |
|---|---|
| 1 | Gabriela Bryan HAW 🇺🇸 |
| 2 | Molly Picklum AUS 🇦🇺 |
| 3 | Erin Brooks CAN 🇨🇦 |
| 4 | Stephanie Gilmore AUS 🇦🇺 |
| 5 | Tyler Wright AUS 🇦🇺 |
Bryan wears the Yellow Jersey but a win here for Picklum or Brooks would flip the standings overnight.
These two met in the 2024 Fiji Pro Final — Colapinto won with 12.8 vs 10.17. Waida gets early revenge potential in Round 2, but Colapinto has owned this matchup 3 for 3 on tour.
Brooks won Tahiti and won Cloudbreak as a wildcard in 2024 — she knows this wave. Kenworthy beat her once in El Salvador and arrives as an unknown quantity at Cloudbreak.
Medina is 2× Fiji Pro champion with a 72% heat win rate here. He's never been better in powerful reef surf. A Medina-Robinson showdown in Round 3 is the possible bonus.
Fioravanti lost the rankings lead after an early Tahiti exit. He can't afford another R1 loss — but surfing against Fijian wildcard Teo Degei (intimate reef knowledge) could be a trap.
2022 WSL World Junior Champion making his CT debut. No pressure, front-hand stance, and Cloudbreak is one of his favourite waves. Could be a dangerous unknown.
Local goofy-footer who surfed this reef since childhood. Crowd favourite and knows every section of Cloudbreak better than any CT pro.
Another local talent who could pull off a major upset against a visiting pro unfamiliar with the reef's quirks.
