Cardiff, USA – May 22nd, 2024
The International Surfing Association (ISA) announces the return of the ISA World Masters Surfing Championship (WMSC) in 2024. The seventh edition of the event will be hosted by Surf City El Salvador October 18-24, 2024 at the iconic point-break of El Sunzal.
The age divisions will be 40-49, 50-59 and 60+ and all teams will have the opportunity to register one male and one female participant per division.
Multiple CT Champions are counted amongst the roster of Masters World Champions, including three-time WSL Champion Tom Curren (USA), seven-time WSL Champion Layne Beachley (AUS), and Sunny Garcia (HAW). Other notable previous champions include Rochelle Ballard (HAW), Rob Page (AUS), Heather Clark (RSA), and the WMSC’s winningest surfer, Juan Ashton (PUR).
Six WMSC events were previously held between 2007 and 2013, each of which took place in incredible waves like Colorado (Nicaragua), Rincon (Puerto Rico), including El Salvador in 2011. 2024 is expected to continue this tradition, with the non-stop, world-class waves of Surf City El Salvador no doubt providing once again.
ISA President Fernando Aguerre said:
“Estoy muy feliz por el regreso del ISA World Masters Surfing Championship y por esta locación ideal que es Surf City El Salvador. La lista de surfistas icónicos que han participado en los últimos años es increíble y no puedo esperar a ver los atletas que se sumaran a esa lista en 2024. El nivel de surf y competitividad es alto en los surfistas mayores de 40 años y yo estoy emocionado por la oportunidad de ver a los mejores del mundo en acción en las increíbles olas de Sunzal. ¡Este evento es una verdadera celebración del surf!”
