Friends & Family -

Join us on an exhilarating ride as Chase Lieder sets his sights on the ultimate prize: the 2024 WSL Longboard World Championship. This year’s tour promises to be more thrilling than ever, with a lineup of international events that will test the skills and spirit of the world’s best longboarders.

Chase is not just competing for the title; he’s riding the wave of tradition and innovation, embodying the very essence of longboarding. Your support will fuel his journey from the iconic shores of Bells Beach in Australia to the sun-kissed sands of Huntington Beach, California to another exotic destination yet to be announced and (fingers crossed!) onto the grand finale in El Salvador.

A Journey to the Global Surf Stage

At the youthful age of 18, Chase has surged into the competitive surfing scene, carving his mark on the international circuit for the third major tour event within a year. Chase has been working and saving towards his goal, and he is blessed with the steadfast support of his family and the generous contributions of product sponsors. Yet, the tides of professional surfing bring costs that extend beyond the reach of personal savings and contest earnings.

As he sets his sights on the World Surf League’s illustrious tour stops, Chase is navigating a swell of expenses. This isn’t just for the thrill of competition; it’s for airfare, a parent/coach’s guiding hand, a place to rest and strategize, transportation, training and nutrition, and other necessities that allow Chase to compete at his best.

Your support can make the difference. It’s not just about getting Chase to the competition; it’s about giving him the peace of mind to prepare mentally and physically, without the undercurrent of financial stress.

Ride the wave with us. Every donation, large or small, propels Chase closer to his dream, fuels his passion, and cements your role in the story of a young athlete from New York who dared to dream big.

How You Can Help:

  • Donate: Every contribution brings Chase closer to his dream
  • Share: Spread the word about Chase’s campaign on social media using #ChaseLiederWSL2024

  • A chance to win a FREE Surf Lesson with Chase in his hometown of Montauk, New York (travel and accommodations not included ; )

Hello Team Chase!

We are thrilled to share some incredible news with you. After three tour stops, Chase has qualified in the Top 8 and made it to the World Surf League Longboard Championship Finals in El Sunzal, El Salvador! 🌊🏄‍♂️

This achievement is a testament to Chase’s dedication, hard work, and the unwavering support from our amazing community of donors. Your contributions have played a crucial role in helping Chase reach this milestone, and we couldn’t be more grateful for you. Thank you!

As Chase prepares for the finals, we invite you to continue supporting Chase on this journey.

🏄‍♂️ Catch the LIVE Action Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 9th at 9:00 AM EST!

Chase will be in Men’s Finals Match 1, competing against Kaniela Stewart (#6) from Hawaii and Steven Sawyer (#7) from South Africa. The winner of Match 1 will go on to compete in Match 2. The chase is on!

🌟 Show your Support: Cast your Pick for Chase!

Head over to worldsurfleague.com, navigate to Schedule > October > Surf City El Salvador Longboard Championships > Heat Draw > Men’s Finals > Match 1 > PICK Chase Lieder. You must log in to cast your pick. 

PRO TIP: Do not click on a competitor to learn more about them (you can do that under Surfers) – this will result in you picking them as your fan favorite (d'oh!), and you cannot change your pick once you’ve made your selection. Take it from us...we've done it before. Picks must be made before each match starts.

With love and gratitude,

About the Event

Thursday, October 3, 2024

EL SUNZAL, La Libertad, El Salvador (Thursday, October 3, 2024) - The world's best longboarders now await the one-day, World Surf League (WSL) Surf City El Salvador Longboard Championships. The Top 8 men and Top 8 women will take on the right-hand point break of El Sunzal in El Salvador in the winner-take-all format that was introduced to the WSL Longboard Tour last season. The competition window for the one-day final opens on Wednesday, October 9, and runs through Sunday, October 13.

Following a groundbreaking event at the Abu Dhabi Longboard Classic, the competitors are seeded and ready to vie for their opportunity at World Title glory.

….

The One Day Showdown Will Determine the 2024 WSL Longboard Champions

Similar to the 2023 Longboard Championships, the Surf City El Salvador Longboard Championships will include the Top 8 competitors qualified for the World Title showdown. Match 1 will feature the No. 8, No. 7, and No. 6 seeded competitors with the winner of that match moving into Match 2. Similar to Match 1, Match 2 features a three-person heat, but only one will prevail to move into Match 3 against the No. 4 seeded competitor.

The winner of Match 3 then goes on to face the No. 3 seeded competitor before the victor will square off with World No. 2. Then, it all boils down to the best two-out-of-three Title Match against World No. 1 for the 2024 WSL Longboard Title.

…

Men's Top 8 Qualifiers
1 - Taylor Jensen (USA)
2 - John Michael Van Hohenstein (HAW)
