Bells rang loudly in Victoria on the last stop of the WSL Championship Tour thanks to the Australian duo of Isabella Nichols and Jack Robinson who both claimed their first victory of the season. Now, the WSL continues its run down under at the Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro in Queensland for the first time since 2019, where Caroline Marks and Italo Ferreira lead the pre-event odds.
As surfers approach the penultimate event before the mid-season cut, they’ll be aiming to lock in their spots and rise in the rankings – much like Jack Robinson, whose victory at Bells Beach propelled him from ninth to third overall in the Championship Tour. Heading into Burleigh Heads, seven male riders and two female riders have made it through the mid-season cut.

Italo Ferreira (+452)
Italo Ferreira rides into the Gold Coast as the series leader, but after a 17th place finish at Bells Beach, his lead has shrunk dramatically. He now sits just under 5,000 points ahead of his nearest competitor, Ethan Ewing. Ferreira had his toughest event of the year in Victoria, losing out to Xavier Huxtable in the round of 32. Outside of his win here in 2019, Ferreira hasn’t had the greatest record in the Gold Coast. He will look to find his second win of the season over the next 11 days to defend his title.
Ethan Ewing (+578)
Australian Ethan Ewing, ranked second in the series, is looking to break through in his home country after losing out in the quarterfinals in Victoria to finalist Kanoa Igarashi. So far in this campaign Ewing has secured two semifinals and two quarterfinals. The 26 year old is looking for his first trophy since the Bells Beach event in 2023.
Filipe Toledo (+675)
Filipe Toledo is still looking for his form after missing the 2024 WSL season due to injury. His best finish this year was a 5th at the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal and he has coupled that with three 9th places with his worst finish being 17th in El Salvador. Although the season hasn’t been stellar, Toledo returns to a place where he won in 2015.
Jack Robinson (+700)
Jack Robinson produced his stop of the season so far in his home country ringing the bell ecstatically at the 62nd Bells Beach Pro. The Australian hasn’t competed at the Gold Coast on the WSL Championship Tour, but he is looking to ride his momentum from Bells Beach to secure his second win of the season at Burleigh Heads.
Yago Dora (+1144)
The goofy stance of Yago Dora has struggled at this event in his two previous editions, progressing only as far as the round of 16. Dora showed his class three rounds ago in Portugal, winning the MEO Rip Curl Pro, but he has been trending in the wrong direction placing 5th and 9th in the last two rounds respectively. The Brazilian is looking to get past the Round of 16 where he lost to Jake Marshall by a mere .39 points at Bells Beach.
Expert Pick: 2025 Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro
After five events, it’s hard to bet against Italo Ferreira. Even though he finished 17th in the first Australian event of 2025, Ferreira will be looking to bounce back and claim his second win of the season while defending his 2019 Gold Coast trophy. At +452, a $20 bet will pay $110.40 for the Brazilian to lift the trophy.

Caroline Marks (+302)
After her success in Portugal, we had high expectations for Caroline Marks in La Libertad and Bells Beach, but she bowed out in the round of 16 in both events, losing to Isabella Nichols and Bettylou Sakura Johnson respectively. Marks finds herself in 6th place in the women’s rankings, dropping two spots after finishing ninth place in Victoria. She will look to turn her season around at Burleigh Heads where she won in 2019 and finished 5th in 2018.
Caitlin Simmers (+587)
A round of 16 loss to Sally Fitzgibbons saw Caitlin Simmers lose the Championship lead. The 19 year old California star has been consistent this season outside of Bells Beach, finishing top five in the first four events of the 2025 campaign. She will look to win her second event of the season at Burleigh Heads and regain the top spot on the Women’s rankings.
Molly Picklum (+620)
Molly Picklum is the most consistent surfer on tour this season, making every semifinal after the first four rounds. The semifinal streak ended at Bells Beach where she finished 9th, losing to Luana Silva by 1.02 points. Molly paddles out at Gold Coast placed third in the Championship Tour and is still looking for her first win of the campaign after coming close multiple times this season.
Gabriela Bryan (+670)
Gabriela Bryan has been impressive this season with four top fives this season. The Hawaiian triumphed in El Salvador and with a fifth place at Bells Beach she finds herself at the top of the Women’s standings. The regular stanced surfer will look to take advantage of the long and high-quality right that Burleigh Heads offers.
Tyler Wright (+740)
The veteran, Tyler Wright,exited the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach in the semifinals, losing out to eventual winner Isabella Nichols. The third place finish for Wright is her second best performance this campaign after winning the Pipe Pro to begin the season. Wright triumphed at Bells Beach in 2016 and 2013 and has only not progressed to the quarterfinals once in her 9 appearances here. The Australian starts with one win under the board in 2025 and is the fifth-best surfer in the Women’s Championship.
Expert Pick: Women’s WSL Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro
Two time Gold Coast winner, Tyler Wright, earns our confidence heading into Burleigh Heads. The veteran sits fifth in the standings but has experience on this wave and will look to use her hometown advantage to outsurf her competitors. Sportsbooks have Wright at +740 to win at this venue, potentially paying $740 on a $20 bet.

Where to Bet on WSL
Italo Ferreira and Gabriela Bryan lead the standings heading into the Gold Coast, but both face fierce competition and historical challenges on this iconic wave.

How Can I Verify if WSL Betting is Legal in My State?
Refer to your sportsbook’s eligibility requirements, terms, and conditions, or contact your state’s gaming commission to verify your state’s WSL betting legality. Most licensed betting platforms restrict access in prohibited states, saving you from the long confirmation process.
Which Sportsbooks Offer WSL Betting?
For the best WSL betting experience, select reputable, regulated sportsbooks like Fanduel, DraftKings, CaesarsSportsbook, and BetMGM. Check event schedules and relevant offers ahead of every WSL competition. Use Underdog Fantasy for Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) gaming.
What is the Current Legal Status of Betting on the World Surf League in the US?
The legal status of WSL betting differs from state to state. The lifting of the federal sports betting ban in 2018 (by the Supreme Court) gave states the independence to legalize sports betting. WSL betting is mostly legal in states with regulated sports betting and licensed sportsbooks like Colorado and New Jersey. Check your sportsbooks and state-specific regulations to confirm availability.
What Are the Most Popular Types of Bets for WSL Events?
Common WSL betting options include outright winner bets, head-to-head matchups, and futures bets (predicting season champions). Most platforms also allow prop bets—for example, you can predict the highest wave score in a competition.
Do Sportsbooks Offer Live Betting for WSL?
Yes. Betting platforms like FanDuel and BetMGM have live betting options. Their users can place bets during the WSL competition. For example, bettors can predict the next wave score, who will win the ongoing heat, or whether a competitor will achieve a given aggregate. Note that not all events may qualify for live betting. Check out your sportsbook live betting section for more.
Can I Bet on WSL Events Even If My State Doesn’t Allow Sports Betting?
Consider Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) if your state does not allow sports betting. Unlike traditional betting, DFS falls under a different regulatory framework, making it legal in several jurisdictions. DFS platforms like Underground Fantasy and DraftKings DFS are common in states where sports betting is illegal.

She will look to turn her season around at Burleigh Heads where she won in 2019 and finished 5th in 2018.
Caitlin Simmers (+587)
A round of 16 loss to Sally Fitzgibbons saw Caitlin Simmers lose the Championship lead. The 19 year old California star has been consistent this season outside of Bells Beach, finishing top five in the first four events of the 2025 campaign. She will look to win her second event of the season at Burleigh Heads and regain the top spot on the Women’s rankings.
Molly Picklum (+620)
Molly Picklum is the most consistent surfer on tour this season, making every semifinal after the first four rounds. The semifinal streak ended at Bells Beach where she finished 9th, losing to Luana Silva by 1.02 points. Molly paddles out at Gold Coast placed third in the Championship Tour and is still looking for her first win of the campaign after coming close multiple times this season.
Gabriela Bryan (+670)
Gabriela Bryan has been impressive this season with four top fives this season. The Hawaiian triumphed in El Salvador and with a fifth place at Bells Beach she finds herself at the top of the Women’s standings.

Tyler Wright (+740)
The veteran, Tyler Wright, exited the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach in the semifinals, losing out to eventual winner Isabella Nichols. The third place finish for Wright is her second best performance this campaign after winning the Pipe Pro to begin the season. Wright triumphed at Bells Beach in 2016 and 2013 and has only not progressed to the quarterfinals once in her 9 appearances here. The Australian starts with one win under the board in 2025 and is the fifth-best surfer in the Women’s Championship.
Expert Pick: Women’s WSL Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro
Two time Gold Coast winner, Tyler Wright, earns our confidence heading into Burleigh Heads. The veteran sits fifth in the standings but has experience on this wave and will look to use her hometown advantage to outsurf her competitors. Sportsbooks have Wright at +740 to win at this venue, potentially paying $740 on a $20 bet.
