The Outerknown Tahiti Pro at Teahupo'o began under extreme and dangerous conditions, with massive 10-12ft waves and heavy winds leading some competitors to describe the event as a “survival competition”. Early rounds saw athletes such as Connor O'Leary, Seth Moniz, and Barron Mamiya advancing to Round 3.

By the conclusion of the event, Seth Moniz secured his first World Surf League Championship Tour title after defeating Griffin Colapinto in the final with a two-wave total of 18.17.
