The long-standing Qualifying Series (QS) event is back in Oceanside with some of North America and Hawaii's emerging and experienced competitors.

Heavy-hitters such as reigning event winner and Championship Tour (CT) competitor Caroline Marks (USA), multiple event winner Sage Erickson (USA), and former 2018 Super Girl Surf Pro victor Samantha Sibley will look to add another Super Girl cape to their name. But, they will have to deal with the likes of current North America No. 1 Sawyer Lindblad, and current Challenger Series No. 1 Caitlin Simmers along with fellow CT qualification threats Alyssa Spencer and Kirra Pinkerton, among many more including world-renowned surfer Bethany Hamilton.

Also making their way to Oceanside to help encourage the event's empowerment of young women, reigning, five-time WSL Champion Carissa Moore will be joined by her fellow former Super Gir victors Courtney Conlogue and Tatiana Weston-Webb as they make their appearance outside of the jersey.
