Griffin Colapinto vs Rio Waida | Corona Fiji Pro presented by Bonsoy 2024 - FINAL

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.

Rio rips.. its great to see him getting better and more confident with every comp. Think we will see him in a yellow shirt in the not too distant future.. yeww

[Nobodyimportant]

Only the WSL will go to Fiji and have a final that looks like Huntington.

[mattm]

Is it just me or is Griffin C the most overscored surfer in the WSL ? I can't understand why they need him to win so bad....he's a nice kid for sure, but when I hear him talk I think his parents may be related.

[springfieldbearpatrol]

Griff may want to consider a squash tail for Lowers. Wave is just too soft and slopey. I'm know he's got a magic board with a thumb tail - but not the best for lowers

[boisterousbillyclub]

Yawn. Biggin up Griffin so US has a title competitor

[Justin-pt]

Why go to all that effort then not wait for better conditions

[KL]

The WSL is by far the most consistently disappointing professional sports organisation in the world.

[allanbarrett]

Seems like at cloud break they need a better swell !

[stara]

best waves were much earlier in this competition--Finals were boring waves..too bad:(

[IOSARBX]

World Surf League, this videos deserves all the views

[kngurfer]

great heat. good win for griff. would have loved to see Rio win it but next year. Fantastic surfing from both all through the competition.

[ganeshlange]

Stoked for griffin he has so much heart and drive the future of surfing is in good hands with that kid

[czarnpg]

Dull. monotonous backhands snaps. The other baraly keep in touch with wave speed. Is this the best that WSL has to show?

[sharkoboyo]

Wsl should be for women only. We need a new league that prioritizes the best surfers. Always trying to force us to watch the women's event get lost

[ftapiavalentin]

Congratulations Griffin 🎉. Well done and deserve every wave score. 😊. Keep it up at your home spot and make your dream come true. 😊

[timothyogburn]

Everything else in this world has gone to shit and now the WSL

[michaelstrode]

Put Rio on a slightly longer board and there will be 0 difference between the two. Both just snappy and thin amateur trash. No power or versatility.

Conditions were almost perfect for these groms. One from Huntington and the other from Keramas.

[JJ-fqzi]

Taking a moment to appreciate Joe Turpel the voice of surfing. Wouldn't be the same without that guy.

[DavidVolz-xzbl]

Mendes bugs me. Mis pronouncing words with really bad grammer every times he opens his mouth

[rullyparlena]

Always disappoint at last of history (Rio), , can't make clear every last of wave and felt, , , one of the mistake is...unconfortble and unconfident self to be winner, so sad....!!
