World Surf League (WSL) named Breitling its Official Timing Partner for WSL Australia in a new three-year agreement on February 12, 2026. This partnership anchors the Swiss watchmaker's presence at the upcoming Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro, set for May 1–11, 2026, marking a return to Snapper Rocks, a venue celebrated for its technical precision and cultural weight in the surfing world. Earlier, on January 26, the upcoming Raglan stop on the 2026 World Surf League Championship Tour drew global travel attention from the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Japan, influencing industry forecasts. This followed the WSL's confirmation on January 25 that Raglan, New Zealand, would host a Championship Tour (CT) stop in May 2026, expanding the elite global tour and marking a significant event for regional surf tourism. Raglan will serve as the fourth stop on the 2026 WSL Championship Tour, joining twelve international locations, and is set to be the largest elite surfing event ever held in New Zealand.
