Episode 80: Mid-Season CT Update, Plus: Big Tour Changes for 2026, and the ISA World Longboard Championships

Written By Aaron Hughes

We have arrived at the midway point of a whirlwind WSL Championship Tour season, with six events down and six to go. Three events have run in the few weeks since we last recorded and there's only one more chance for the women on Tour to make the Mid-season Cut.

This episode we delve into the rankings to catch up with where each of the women are currently sitting and what their year has looked like so far. We also delve into the WSL's massive announcement of the changes to the CT for 2026 and beyond, and celebrate our very own Rachael Tilly winning yet another World Title as we take a look at the ISA World Longboard Championships.
