WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW - Corona Fiji Pro presented by Bonsoy

After a seven-year hiatus, Cloudbreak is back on the Championship Tour schedule as the ninth and final stop of the regular season. The 2024 Corona Fiji Pro presented by Bonsoy will see the top 24 men and 12 women return to one of the world's most perfect and iconic waves. This powerful, left-hand reef break will not only cap the regular season but will officially set the WSL Final 5 roster.

Fiji has been home to some of the most memorable moments at the Championship Tour level, including a record four wins by 11x World Champion Kelly Slater who returns to the event this year as a wildcard. Fiji will also welcome back tour veterans such as Gabriel Medina, John John Florence, Tyler Wright, and Tatiana Weston-Webb as well as others who will be competing there for the first time including current world No. 1 Caitlin Simmers and Griffin Colapinto.

The best of Gabriel Medina competing at one of the world's most critical waves, Teahupo'o!

One of Brazil’s most promising groms in the early 00s, Gabriel Medina began his meteoric rise to the top as barely a teenager. In the final of the 2009 Quiksilver Pro King of the Groms against Caio Ibelli, Gabe dropped two tens and a perfect heat total to win the event and make a very big statement to the generation of supergroms assembled at the event, like Jack Robinson, Kanoa Igarashi, and others.

While Gabe was always going to be a technical genius in small waves, his fearlessness and precision at some of the tour’s heaviest waves like Teahupoo or Pipeline is the result of relentless work to get better, stronger, and more comfortable in waves of consequence.

Gabe won the Tahiti Pro in 2014 for the first time against the winningest surfer ever at Teahupo’o, Kelly Slater. The then twenty-one-year-old established himself with the performance as one of his generation’s most gifted all conditions surfers, and smoothly paved the way to his first World Title that year.

The three-time WSL World Champion has been a perennially consistent standout at Teahupoo ever since, winning the event again in 2018, and making four runner-up finishes in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2023.
