Due to the highly over-subscribed GWA Wingfoil World Tour events for the last two years, participant numbers for each event are capped for the 2023 season. Finishing in the top five of each discipline on the 2022 Qualifying Series was just one way of being assured of competing on the 2023 World Tour events.
Nine GWA QS events ran in 2022 on four continents with six events in Spain, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Hong Kong and South Africa. 190 men and 27 women competed in Surf Slalom events, while 84 men and 19 women competed across the Surf-Freestyle events.
