Where the World Title race stands
The table below shows the WSL’s top five in each ranking after the Philippines Pro, the 11th of 12 events.
| Rank | Men | Points | Women | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yago Dora (Brazil) | 54,950 | Molly Picklum (Australia) | 53,695 |
| 2 | Gabriel Medina (Brazil) | 53,210 | Carissa Moore (Hawaii) | 53,150 |
| 3 | Italo Ferreira (Brazil) | 49,335 | Caitlin Simmers (United States) | 49,610 |
| 4 | Griffin Colapinto (United States) | 46,195 | Gabriela Bryan (Hawaii) | 46,865 |
| 5 | Miguel Pupo (Brazil) | 45,270 | Erin Brooks (Canada) | 44,745 |
The women’s race is the closer one. Moore is 545 points behind Picklum, Caitlin Simmers 4,085, Gabriela Bryan 6,830 and Erin Brooks 8,950.
Medina trails Dora by 1,740 on the men’s side. Italo Ferreira is 5,615 back, Griffin Colapinto 8,755 and Miguel Pupo 9,680.
What the postseason changed
The MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal at Supertubos, Peniche, ran its finals on October 23. Picklum beat Simmers in the women’s final and took the yellow leader’s jersey. Colapinto beat Medina in the men’s final for his third Portugal title, and the WSL puts his record in Portugal finals at 3-0.
The Philippines Pro at Cloud 9, Siargao Island, was the first Philippines Pro, with finals on November 2. Simmers, the 2024 world champion, won the women’s event. Medina, a three-time world champion, beat Jack Robinson in the men’s final.
Those two stops explain the climbs. Medina scored 7,800 in Portugal and 10,000 in the Philippines. Simmers posted the same two results, 7,800 and then 10,000, and moved to third.
The leaders scored differently. Picklum took 10,000 in Portugal and 4,745 in the Philippines. Dora scored 6,085 at both stops.
Bryan led the women’s ranking after stop 9, Trestles, on 42,865, with Moore second on 42,320, under the regular-season rule of best seven of nine results. She scored 2,000 at each postseason stop and is now fourth.
How the Pipe Masters decides it
The Pipe Masters pays 15,000 points for a win. That is 1.5 times a standard event’s 10,000, or 5,000 more. Under the WSL’s 2026 format, the World Titles go to each surfer’s best nine results across all 12 events.
The totals now are best nine of 11. A Pipe result counts only by replacing a surfer’s lowest counting result, and only if it beats it. Picklum’s lowest counting result is 4,745 and Moore’s is 2,000. Dora’s is 3,320 and Medina’s is 1,000. The same Pipe result, if it beats both, adds more to Moore’s total than to Picklum’s, and more to Medina’s than to Dora’s.
Fields of 22 qualified men and 14 qualified women, plus two event wildcards in each, surfed Portugal and the Philippines. The full Championship Tour rosters from the start of the season return for the Pipe Masters. The top eight men and women going into it are seeded deep in the draw.
The last World Titles, as the record
Dora and Picklum won the 2025 World Titles at the WSL Finals and were first in the 2025 rankings published September 1, 2025. Griffin Colapinto and Caroline Marks were second.
The one-day WSL Finals is not part of the 2026 season, so the rankings after the Pipe Masters decide the titles. Both 2025 champions lead again: Picklum by 545 points, Dora by 1,740.
WSL odds: reading a World Title price
A World Title price is a chance written as a payout. At +250 the implied chance is 28.6%. At +1000 it is 9.1%. Surfing odds on the title are futures, settled when the champions are crowned.
A futures bet is worth making only when you rate a surfer’s chance higher than the price does. Surfing betting at events also includes heat matchups, where you pick which of two surfers scores higher in a heat.
