The Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro Presented by GWM conclusion left everyone wanting more after crowning Filipe Toledo and Bettylou Sakura Johnson the 2025 victors now etched in Goldy history.
Surfing's powerhouses ignited in a Brazil vs Australia showdown. A magnificent rematch of the 2015 Gold Coast featuring vintage Julian Wilson and Toledo form reminded us of their world-class caliber leading into their Final bout. And the CT veterans didn't disappoint in an all-out battle of progression with Toledo's 9.07 taking the show and a second Gold Coast Pro title over Wilson. The women's Final battle between one of the CT's most decorated contenders Sally Fitzgibbons and rising star Sakura Johnson led to a forehand clinic from Sakura Johnson to post a 15.33 heat total and take her maiden CT win in remarkable form. Major moves in the rankings secured familiar faces and CT Rookies past the Mid-season Cut as the World Title race begins to take true form as both Toledo and Sakura Johnson now sit at No. 6 on the rankings.
Now, the world's best head from the shimmering Gold Coast for the Wild West in the Aussie Treble's last stop and the last stance to clear the Mid-season Cut. The Western Australia Margaret River Pro begins May 17 through 25 and you won't want to miss a moment of it.
