News Summary:

Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay concluded another year as the official accommodation partner for the Fiji Pro Presented by Corona Cero on September 15, 2026, a competition that crowned Cole Houshmand and Erin Brooks as champions at Cloudbreak. Earlier, on September 4, the World Surf League officially removed the 2026 Surf Abu Dhabi Pro from its Championship Tour schedule. This cancellation of the artificial wave competition was attributed to ongoing military conflict, regional unrest, heightened geopolitical tension, and severe logistical and security disruptions across the Middle East, particularly along the Strait of Hormuz. Previously, on August 25, the World Surf League's Murf Electric Bikes Noosa Pro Junior Presented by Surfboard Empire began on Queensland's Noosa Shire at Sunshine Beach, hosting the region's emerging surfers through August 26. This followed the league's announcement on August 4 of its return to India with the Shore Temple Classic QS 2000 and the country's first-ever Pro Junior event, held from August 12 to 16 at Mahabalipuram Beach in Tamil Nadu.
