Surfing at the 2024 Summer Olympics is scheduled to take place 27 July – 5 August 2024 in Teahupo'o reef pass, Tahiti, French Polynesia, breaking the record for the farthest away a medal competition has been staged from the host city.^[1]^[2] A total of 48 surfers (24 for each gender) will compete in the shortboard events, augmenting the athlete size by eight more than those in Tokyo 2020.^[3]

Venue

The surfing competition will stage in Teahupo'o, Tahiti, the French overseas territory of 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. In addition, spectators will be allowed for the first time in history.^[1] Tahiti is 15,000 km (9,300 mi) 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.^[4]

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 Aranui 5 ship anchored off Tahiti as the first floating Olympic village.^[5]

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 surfers per gender and country remains intact, two exceptions to this rule have been introduced for the ISA World Surfing Games 2022 and 2024 team champions which may result in some teams seeing their quota expand to three surfers.^[6]
