The Margaret River Pro officially kicked off yesterday at Main Break. It’s a big event for competitors, as it’s mid-season cut time. See, the full Championship Tour enters, but only the top 22 men and 10 women advance, and a few big names are teetering on the edge.
Despite the relatively pristine 3-5-foot conditions, it wasn’t a great day for some. Those who don’t make the cut fall off tour and are relegated back to the Challenger Series — a tough pill to swallow for those who worked so hard to get to the CT. Macy Callaghan and Isabella Nichols were two of those people.
“They will now turn to the Challenger Series to fight their way back on the CT in 2024,” the WSL wrote. “One more spot above the cut line was claimed by rookie Caitlin Simmers, who showcased her talent brilliantly during the elimination round after hearing the good news.”
“Really happy about making the cut,” said Simmers. “That was my goal for this year. I was kind of stressed coming into this event not knowing. I definitely wanted the assurance so it’s pretty nice knowing I made it.”
