Congratulations to our USA Surfing Prime Series competitors on an outstanding start to the 2025/2026 season. 📈Your hard work, commitment, and progression are showing, and we’re just as proud of the camaraderie and sportsmanship we’ve seen across the field. 👏🇺🇸
As we head into the final stretch before Champs at Lowers, USA Surfing is proud to announce the mid-season call ups to our Junior National and Development Teams.
Mid-year call-ups are based on results from the top two Prime Series events at the midpoint of the season on both coasts. Surfers who reached or exceeded the 4,000-point performance benchmark (set by the Competition Committee) met the mid-season nomination cutoff for National and Development Team consideration.
These call-ups reflect consistent top results. In most cases, reaching 4,000 points meant repeated semifinals-or-better finishes, plus at least one finals result of third place or better to separate from the field.
Swipe for the mid-season call up by division. You’ll see movement within the teams: some Development Team surfers have moved up to the National Team, and both rosters include new members.
In making the announcement, Head Coach Simmo said: “The mid-season team call up rewards those surfers currently on the Development Team and those who weren’t named last August, but have excelled in the first half of the Prime Series season. These surfers will now get to train with the Team for the remainder of the season. Those surfers currently on the team named last August will remain on the team and the mid-season assessment has no bearing on your status for the remainder of the year. Congrats to all, you earned this through your hard work and dedication to continued learning and growth. We commend you and look forward to helping you become a better surfer, competitor and person.”
