'Amazing scenes' as world-champion surfer shares wave with dolphins
Caitlin Simmers didn't win the recent Western Australia Margaret River Pro, but the 2024 World Surf League champion did to surf circles around a couple of dolphins.
The accompanying footage, courtesy of the WSL, shows Simmers ripping a large wave in slow motion while at least two "locals" appear in the face. Or, as the announcer exclaims: 'Look at this! Amazing scenes as Caity Simmers just flies over the top of that dolphin… And they're loving sharing a wave with the world champ!'
The dolphins might have actually breached the wave face had it not been so beautifully occupied.
Simmers, of Oceanside, Ca., finished second to Hawaii's Gabriela Bryan in the event, and is currently second to Bryan in the 2025 WSL standings.

Kanoa Igarashi, ranked No. 3 in the world, happy to be back home for U.S. Open of Surfing
Kanoa Igarashi might have a little trouble recognizing the competition when the Huntington Beach resident paddles out on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier throughout next week during the U.S. Open of Surfing. Over the past six months, Igarashi has been laser-focused on surfing on the World Surf League's Championship Tour (CT) in an effort to win a world championship. Currently ranked No. 3 in the world, Igarashi will be the only surfer still with a chance to win a world title competing in the Open, which begins Saturday and runs through Sunday, Aug. 3, when the men's and women's winners will be crowned. All the other men's division athletes still in the hunt for a world championship have chosen not to compete and instead focus on the CT contest that begins Aug. 7 in Tahiti. That includes Igarashi's longtime rival Griffin Colapinto of San Clemente, the 2021 U.S. Open winner who is currently ranked No. 6 in the world. The Tahiti event is the final contest of the CT's 11-event regular season, with the top five in the season's point standings qualifying for the championship finals in Fiji during the final week of August. Igarashi admitted that skipping the Open to focus on Tahiti and securing a spot in the finals did cross his mind, but it was never a serious consideration. 'I definitely thought about it, but at the end of the day, whether or not I'm in the U.S. Open, I'm just doing my daily routine,' he said. 'As long as I can get to Tahiti a few days in advance, and get rid of the jet lag, I'll be fine. 'I'd be surfing Huntington every single day anyway, so surfing in the U.S. Open doesn't tire me out, thankfully. And I get to spend time with my friends, spend time at home, I'm sleeping in my bed, and I'm only driving three minutes to the pier. I feel like I'm recovering for Tahiti while competing in the U.S. Open. I feel like if it was going to tire me out or distract me, I wouldn't compete. Competing at home, competing in the U.S. Open, it just rejuvenates me.' Indeed, the Open holds a special place in Igarashi's heart. He won back-to-back Open crowns in 2017 and '18, and puts those contest victories at the top of his professional career. 'It was my first big win, so when I won the U.S. Open I was like, OK I think I can move on and do bigger things,' he said. 'It was a confidence booster. To this day, it's right up there with my Bali win and right up there with my [Olympic] silver medal, it's all on the same platform.' The win in Bali in 2019 is the only CT contest Igarashi has won in what is now his ninth season. But he's been to a final six times, including twice this season. It's a reflection of the progress the 27-year-old has made over the years since qualifying for the CT when he was just 17. On paper, Igarshi's biggest competition in the Open will be Mexico's Alan Cleland, who is ranked No. 19 in the world and won last year's Open. Cleland will compete in Tahiti, but is too far down in the points standings to have a chance at qualifying for the finals. Other Southern California surfers who will compete include the San Clemente crew — Kolohe Andino, Kade Matson and Jett Schilling — Long Beach's Nolan Rapoza, Malibu's Taro Watanabe, Encinitas' Levi Slawson and Ventura's Dimitri Poulos. On the women's side, two names to watch for are San Clemente's Sawyer Lindblad, currently ranked No. 11 in the world and the 2023 Open winner, and Australia's Sally Fitzgibbons, still going strong at age 34 and coming off back-to-back appearances in the Open finals. Fitzgibbons won it last year, and finished runner-up to Lindblad in 2023. For Fitzgibbons, the contest is a big one in her effort to qualify for next year's CT, which would be her 17th season on surfing's biggest stage. The Open is a Challenger Series event, with the top seven in the standings qualifying for next year's CT. Fitzgibbons is currently ranked No. 2 in the Challenger Series, but the Open is only the third of the seven contests that will determine the qualifiers. Fitzgibbons has never won a world title but has finished in the top five a remarkable 10 times, including three consecutive second-place finishes in 2010, '11 and '12. Caroline Marks, from San Clemente by way of Florida, is currently ranked No. 6 in the world but will not compete at the Open, instead focusing on Tahiti in an effort to get into the top five of the women's standings. Other Southern California women who will surf in the Open include San Clemente's Bella Kenworthy, Kirra Pinkerton and Eden Walla; Encinitas' Alyssa Spencer, Carlsbad's Reid Von Wagoner and Malibu's Talia Swindal. The Huntington Beach Longboard Classic also will be held, with the log riders competition starting Saturday and going through July 30. Out of the water, competitors will perform Saturday and Sunday in freestyle motocross (FMX), a high-flying action sport where riders perform aerial tricks on dirt bikes, using large ramps to launch themselves into the air.

Seven WSL clubs join trial allowing alcohol in stands
Seven Women's Super League clubs have joined a trial that will allow supporters to drink alcohol in the stands during the 2025-26 season. Last season's top four - champions Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United - are among the clubs who will take part. It follows an initial trial last term at four clubs in the second tier - rebranded as WSL2 this season - that offered fans the opportunity to consume alcohol while watching the match. League operator WSL Football said the trial was a success, with 66% of the 51,000 spectators that took part supporting the idea. Holly Murdoch, the chief operating officer for WSL Football, said the expansion was "part of our strategy to offer a best-in-class experience". WSL Football said there were no reported safety incidents from last season's trial and that match officials noted 'no change to fan behaviour' during the trial. While consumption of alcohol within view of the pitch is allowed in the women's professional game, it is banned in men's professional football in the UK. "We support that process and there's no reason such research couldn't be extended across the men's game too," Football Supporters' Association chair Tom Greatrex said. "Of course not every supporter wants a pint in the stands - but we don't believe those who do should be criminalised either." Teams participating in the expanded trial WSL teams: Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, London City Lionesses, Manchester City, Manchester United WSL2 teams: Birmingham City, Bristol City, Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Sheffield United, Sunderland, Southampton Head here to get involved Get the latest WSL news on our dedicated page

WSL and WSL2 fans able to drink alcohol in stands for 2025-26 season as trial extends
Supporters will be able to drink alcohol in the stands at some of the biggest clubs in women's football as Women's Super League Football have expanded their trial for the 2025-26 season. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are among the clubs involved, with both men's and women's stadiums included for each of these clubs apart from City. As women's football is not covered by legislation – Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc.) Act 1985 (SECAA 1985) – that prevents alcohol being consumed in view of the pitch, this was trialled by the governing body across four second-tier clubs in the second half of last season. Birmingham City, Bristol City, Newcastle United and Southampton were all involved in the initial trial and saw an increase in their attendances. 'Expanding this trial for the new campaign, encompassing our Barclays WSL teams and additional Barclays WSL2 clubs too, is part of our strategy to offer a best-in-class experience for our fans attending matches,' Holly Murdoch, chief operation officer for WSL Football, said in an official statement. 'Exploring giving supporters the choice to drink alcohol in the stands was something we were excited to trial and following such positive feedback from the proof-of-concept version, we're looking forward to opening it up to more venues and equally, hearing from those at the heart of it – our clubs and supporters.' From the 19-fixture trial there were no reported safety incidents and 66 per cent of surveyed fans were in favour of the trial going forward, according to a WSL Football press release. The governing body for the top two tiers of women's football, formerly known as the Women's Professional Leagues Limited, has also made changes for the players as well as the supporters. In June they voted to expand the WSL1 from 12 to 14 teams and introduce a play-off system for relegation and promotion. The play-off system will start next season and means that there will not be an automatic relegation spot from the top league. Instead, the 12th-placed team in the WSL1 will face the third-placed team in the league below to decide who will be in the WSL1 for the 2026-27 campaign. The governing body and the growing game Analysis by Megan Feringa This is a simultaneously rational and savvy decision by WSL Football. Women's football fans have proven over the past few years that conflating their fandom with the (albeit mostly historic) reputation of the men's game is potentially unfair. This isn't only about enticing new audiences with the potential to drink alcohol in their seats (as has been the case throughout this 2025 European Championship to great success), but an acknowledgement that football fans are not inherently up to no good. It's also testament to the atmosphere – fun, importantly inclusive but also mature. These are not just eight-year-olds and their parents attending games, but also teenagers and young adults who can enjoy the game appropriately. The trial run in the Championship had huge success, and it's great to see WSL Football not only responding to the success of that but also to the vocal desires of a diverse fanbase. Women's football has so much potential to differentiate itself as a unique form of sport and entertainment. And while there is always the risk of a privilege being abused or taken advantage of, this feels positive and exciting. This article originally appeared in The Athletic.
