Surfing at the 2024 Summer Olympics is scheduled to take place 27 July – 5 August 2024 in Teahupo'o reef pass, Tahiti, French Polynesia, breaking the record for the farthest medal competition to stage outside the host city.[1][2] A total of 48 surfers (24 for each gender) will compete in the shortboard events, augmenting the athlete size by eight more than those in Tokyo 2020.[3]
Venue
The surfing competition will stage in Teahupo'o, Tahiti, the French overseas territory of Polynesia in the southern Pacific. The decision was made to hold the surfing competition in the French territory instead of continental Europe because of the famous massive waves on the island suitable for the surfing competitions.[1]
Qualification
The qualification system for Paris 2024 builds on the previous format used for Tokyo 2020, ensuring the participation of the world's best professional surfers, along with the vast promotion of geographical universal opportunities for surfers around the world at the Games. While the quota of two surfers per gender and country remains intact, two exceptions to this rule have been introduced for the ISA World Surfing Games 2022 and 2024 team champions which may result in some teams seeing their quota expand to three surfers.[4]
