Congratulations to all the young talents who competed across the IBC Junior Men Rising Series in 2025. After months of dedication, progression, and unforgettable performances, we are proud to present the Top 48 Qualified athletes for the Grand Final at the Gran Canaria Frontón King, together with the official Waiting List.
Thank you to every athlete, coach, family member, promoter and federation who made these qualifiers possible. Your commitment keeps building the future of bodyboarding.
How this Ranking Was Determined
The qualification ranking is based on a clear and consistent methodology:
- Main criterion: each athlete’s best single result/points from the 2025 IBC Junior Men Rising Series.
- Tie-break #1: athletes who competed in more than one official 2025 Junior event rank above those who only competed once.
- Tie-break #2: if a tie remains, we consider the athlete’s better final classification in their regional tours (2024) and, if needed, their national championships (2024).
This process was applied across the board to produce the lists below.
Age Eligibility for the Grand Final
As stipulated in the Rulebook, Junior athletes must be 18 years old or younger through the end of competition on October 24, 2025. Any athlete who turns 19 years old before October 25, 2025 is not eligible to compete in the Junior Grand Final.
Confirmation for the Top 48
To secure your place, Top 48 athletes must confirm by email within 5 days of this announcement:
Email: info@ibcworldtour.com | Subject: “JRS 2025 Confirmation – [Athlete Name]”
Ethical Highlight: Please confirm only if you are 100% certain you will travel and compete in the Grand Final. This respect ensures that athletes on the Waiting List receive a fair chance to step in.
Waiting List Policy
If a spot becomes available, it will be offered strictly in the order of the Waiting List ranking—i.e., the first available place goes to Waiting List #1, the next to #2, and so on.
