Finals Day provided all the season-ending drama fans could want with dream runs from Caroline Marks and Jack Robinson ending in Tahitian glory. Marks' grit was put to the test against fellow American, and World Title contender, Caitlin Simmers, to earn her fifth-career CT victory. For Robinson, his 2023 World Title hunt came down to a Final showdown with fellow Final 5 hopeful Gabriel Medina in a surf off. Robinson fought til the dying minutes at the End of the Road to garner his first win at Teahupo'o and secured his Final 5 spot. Now, competitive surfing's biggest day awaits at Lower Trestles for the Rip Curl WSL Finals September 8 - 16 to determine the 2023 World Champions in the one-day, winner-take-all event.
