The first two events of the season in Manly Beach and Huntington Beach will be worth 5,000 points each, while the final event in Malibu will have 10,000 points on offer. The World Titles will be determined by the highest points in the best two of three competitions. The competitions will host 20 surfers for the men's division and 20 surfers for the women's division. Each field will be made up of the Top 10 from the 2021 rankings, seven surfers selected from the regions, one WSL wildcard, and two event wildcards. Steve Sawyer is the lone Saffa on tour.

The 2022 World Longboard Tour will kick off at Manly Beach, Australia as part of the Sydney Surf Pro Challenger Series event May 16 - 24. Manly has a celebrated history with surfing. It was here that Duke Kahanamoku introduced surfing to Australia, and in 1964 Phyliss O’Donnell and Midget Farrelly were crowned the first surfing World Champions here.

Competitors then head to California. The Vans Duct Tape Invitational runs August 3 - 7. Huntington Beach will also host the Vans US Open of Surfing, the fourth stop of the Challenger Series, from July 30 to August 7. The World Longboard Tour will conclude at iconic First Point in Malibu October 3 - 13. Surfers’ two best results will determine the Longboard World Titles and final 2022 Rankings.
