Bonvalot, Houshmand take Challenger Series reins leaving Ballito I Challenger Series Rankings Update

The initial rankings are locked in leaving the Ballito Pro Presented by O'Neill, and frontrunners got the early jump on 2027 CT qualification. Remarkable wins from Cole Houshmand and Teresa Bonvalot earned them the reins over their fellow Challenger Series elite, but the ridiculously stacked field showed it will be a long year ahead to see who ends the season atop the rankings. Clutch performances from Brazil's upstart Weslley Dantas and current CTer Francisca Veselko put their names right toward the top with Finals appearances. Plus, the likes of Jackson Bunch, 2022 World Junior Champion Jarvis Earle, Challenger Series Rookie phenom Eden Walla, Basque Country's Ariane Ochoa, and more are right in the mix and things are just getting started. The CT qualification races now heads to the iconic Lexus US Open of Surfing Presented by Pacifico beginning July 25 - August 2.
