What is Vissla Sydney Surf Pro?

Featuring some of the world’s best surfers, including 11-time world champion Kelly Slater, the QS6000 rated event for both Men and Women is the second major Qualifying Series event of the World Surf League (WSL) season, and plays a pivotal role for competitors hoping to qualify for the elite Championship Tour that Slater has dominated for over two decades.

What to see and do?

The 2019 Key Sun Zinke Sydney Pro Junior will serve as the opener to the 2019 Vissla Sydney Surf Pro. The elite two-day junior event will bolster the Men’s and Women’s QS6,000 events. A massive international field is expected, all vying for a top spot on the WSL Australia / Oceania JQS Rankings and a start at the 2019 World Junior Championships.
