G-Land Pro, Indonesia, June 20, 2021 to 29th
The G-Land Pro, Indonesia, presented by Corona and cancelled due to Corona, was planned for June this year. It will be coming back as part of the WSL tour in June 20 – 29, 2021.

The Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational, Hawaii date to be determined
Eddie Aikau is one of the best-known surfers in the history of surfing in Hawaii. He is a legend, and this invitational is as much to honour him as it is to bring Hawaiian culture back to the forefront and help others see what a beautiful heritage surfing holds.
