Rookies aren't supposed to soar as high as Morgan Cibilic has on Championship Tour in 2021. And while the surf punditry waited for him to fly too close to the sun, event after event he just kept shining brighter.
For the first time in the history of the WSL Championship Tour, the 2021 World Champion will be decided by a one-day, winner-take-all event titled the Rip Curl WSL Finals.
The Rip Curl GromSearch presented by Banzai Bowls East Coast Qualifier, held at NSB Inlet, FL was treated to a gorgeous weekend of weather, paired with fun and punchy peaks, perfect for the high-performance approach brought on by some of the nation’s top junior surfers.
On the whim of quick Surfline check, the Rip Curl team heads south to Oaxaca, Mexico on the Search for perfect waves before the WSL Championship Tour event.
