This article details the qualifying phase for surfing at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The competition at these Games will comprise a total of 48 surfers coming from their respective NOCs with a maximum of two to three per gender. All athletes must undergo a qualifying pathway to earn a spot for the Games through three successive editions of the ISA World Surfing Games, the World Surf League Championship Tour, and the Pan American Games.[1][2]
Host nation France has been entitled to use a single quota place each in both men's and women's shortboards. If one or more French surfers directly qualify through any of the tournaments, the host country place(s) shall be reallocated to the next highest-ranked eligible surfer at the 2024 ISA World Surfing Games. For the first time, the International Olympic Committee invites all interested and eligible NOCs to send surfers to the Games under the Universality rule. To be registered for a spot granted by the Universality principle, an eligible surfer must finish among the top 50 in his or her respective shortboard event at the 2023 or 2024 ISA World Surfing Games.[3]
Quota places will be distributed to the eligible surfers at the following events based on the hierarchical structure:[1][3]
