Challenger Series Rankings Update: Kerr inches closer to CT qualification, Marshall disrupts CS

The famed Huntington Beach Pier hosted more illustrious history with the 2026 Lexus US Open of Surfing Presented by Pacifico, and the race for CT qualification caught a major spark. Stop No. 3 means things are heating up following the Lexus US Open of Surfing that witnessed a monumental win for Sierra Kerr, her first Challenger Series win, that helped jump her up the rankings to No. 1 where she sits firmly within striking distance of CT qualification alongside a runner-up from fellow Australia Isla Huppatz to kickstart her campaign. For the men, Jake Marshall and Kanoa Igarashi played spoilers and took 17,800 of the available points back to the CT with them. But, for Marshall it was a much-needed spark as he sat below the cut line heading to Tahiti. Now, it's time for the passion that only Brazil can offer beginning September 26 - October 3, and the first CT qualifiers could redefine their careers with big results at the Banco do Brasil São Sebastião Pro.
