Seth’s been having a tough year. He started off strong but had a few shocker heats since. After 5 events, only the Top 21 will make the cut. Making the cut means you will be able to surf the rest of the events for 2023. If you don’t make the cut, you will fall off the tour and have to surf the brutal challenger series again. It’s a place nobody wants to be. So going into the 5th contest in Australia, Seth was on the fine line of make or break. I was so stressed out watching heat after heat. In the end, Seth made the cut and qualified for the rest of the season. Now I can finally sleep good again. Here is the list of the Top 21 surfers in the world. By the way, Kelly Slater didn’t make the cut.
