The Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy is set to return to the Sultans break at the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa from 4 to 11 September 2026. This prestigious invitation-only event, now in its 14th edition, will feature world-class surfers such as Kai Lenny, Mason Ho, and Victor Bernardo, competing across single fin, twin fin, and thruster divisions.
The Surfing Champions Trophy is renowned for its unique format and high-calibre participants. Since its inception in 2011, it has attracted surfing legends, including Kelly Slater and Taj Burrow, who have graced the event with their presence. The competition is known for its challenging conditions and the opportunity it provides for surfers to showcase their skills across different board types.
The 2025 edition was particularly memorable, with Michel Bourez overcoming injury to secure victory, delivering a perfect 10 in the grand final. The upcoming event aims to match this level of excitement and competition.
For those eager to experience the action firsthand, the resort offers the "Surf's Up" package. This includes expert coaching, guided boat trips, and luxurious amenities such as daily yoga and massages. Guests can also enjoy exclusive cocktail parties, mingling with surfing professionals in a relaxed setting.
The full line-up of competitors for 2026 will be announced in the coming months.
