Surfing at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place 27 July – 5 August 2024 in Teahupoʻo reef pass, Tahiti, French Polynesia, breaking the record for the farthest away a medal competition has been staged from the host city. A total of 48 surfers (24 for the men's and women's competitions each) were competing in the shortboard events, augmenting the athlete size by eight more than those in Tokyo 2020.




Venue


The surfing competition was staged in Teahupo'o, Tahiti, in the French overseas collectivity of French 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. Tahiti is 15,000 km (9,300 miles) from Paris, setting a new record for greatest physical distance of a medal event from the host city, a record that was last set in 1956 when the equestrian events of the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, had to be held in Stockholm, Sweden, because Australia had strict quarantine rules for animals coming from overseas.
Participants in the surf competitions will be the only ones not staying at the Olympic village on L'Île-Saint-Denis, and will instead stay on the ship M/V Aranui 5 anchored off Tahiti as the first floating Olympic village. The surfing competition is also the only event held without spectators.




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 male and two female surfers per country remains intact, two exceptions to this rule have been introduced for the ISA World Surfing Games 2022 and 2024 team champions. These exceptions may increase the quota for some teams to three surfers.




Competition schedule



On 29 July, the weather turned dangerous towards the end of round 3 of the men's shortboard event, forcing the postponement of the women's third round. The waves continued to be too rough for competition over the next two days, leading to the last women's round and all finals being postponed. Surfing resumed on 1 August. Competition was again called off on 3 and 4 August, with the semifinals and finals tentatively set for 5 August.




Participating nations


A total of 48 surfers from 21 nations qualified. Canada and Mexico made their Olympic debuts in the sport.
