Highlights from the First Two Rounds of the Fiji Pro

The 2026 Fiji Pro commenced at Cloudbreak, showcasing the beauty of Fiji and promising surf conditions. This event is particularly significant as it precedes the 2025 WSL Finals, which will also take place in Fiji.

In the initial rounds, two surfers from the top 10 were eliminated, intensifying the competition as the field narrows down to 24 men and 16 women for upcoming contests in Portugal and either Abu Dhabi or the Philippines. Italo Ferreira currently leads the men's rankings, having performed consistently this season.

Ferreira, who has recently recovered from an injury, expressed his excitement about the event and his strategy for improvement. Gabriel Medina, facing challenges earlier in the season, secured a crucial victory in Round two, keeping his title hopes alive as he aims to regain his competitive edge.
