2018 WCT Schedule

The World Surf League has officially released the 2018 WSL Women's Championship Tour schedule, and it has some exciting changes! For the first time, the Surf Ranch was announced to join the World Tour as a new venue. After analysing the results of a test event with the surfers and getting their feedback, this new event "has the potencial to be something special for both surfers and fans" said Sophie Goldschmidt, WSL CEO.
