What's different this year
- ~Purse doubled to $200,000. Highest-paying single-day wave-pool event on earth.
- ~New PerfectSwell air section produces a taller, more vertical ramp — expect higher rotations.
- ~Women's division field expanded from 8 to 16 riders, with equal prize money.
- ~Format: 90 seconds, unlimited attempts, best two airs count.
