Piha Pro forms part of the new WSL Challenger Series and has been confirmed as a combined men’s and women’s event until 2022.

For the first time in five years, the World Surf League (WSL) will return to the pristine shores of New Zealand for the Piha Pro, a WSL Challenger Series (CS) event on the newly-announced competition tier’s calendar. The combined men’s and women’s events will take place in March of 2020 at the iconic Piha Beach, Auckland. The event has been confirmed for 2020, 2021 and 2022 seasons.

As part of the new WSL Challenger Series, the inaugural Piha Pro will attract a huge international field with some of surfing’s biggest stars coming up against New Zealand’s most promising talent. The event will offer equal prize money to both men and women.

WSL Championship Tour competitors and New Zealand Olympic hopefuls Ricardo Christie and Paige Hareb cannot wait to take on the world’s best in home waters.
