In the Men’s division it will be a battle to the end, even though Connor Baxter (Starboard) has already secured the World Title in advance of the Finals. As one of the most dramatic and prestigious events of the year, Connor will be looking to finish off the year on Top, while Kai Lenny (Naish) will be looking for a come back in this final and all important event, and last year’s Finals winner Jake Jensen (Fanatic) will be looking for a strong finish once again in 2014.
We then have European Cup Champion Zane Schweitzer (Starboard) who has been having an incredible year, Mo Freitas (Focus SUP) who is coming off an impressive 2nd place finish in Huntington and is carrying a huge amount of momentum coming into this final event and the Great Dane, European Champion Casper Steinfath who is looking to wrap a great year with a strong finish in the Finals.

Title Race is on for the women, as Angie Jackson & Lina Augaitis meet dark horses
|
 |
|
In the women’s division, it is all to play for as we come down to the wire for this Final event of the 2014 season. Angie Jackson (Fanatic) started the year off strong with a win in Brazil, but faltered in the long distance in Abu Dhabi allowing Lina Augaitis to take the win. In Germany, with Angie absent, Lina Augaitis took the win, and did enough in Huntington to maintain her ratings lead coming into the Final.
However with the smallest marging seperating the two, it will all come down to this prestigious final event as the 2014 World Champion will be crowned at Turtle Bay next weekend.
These two athletes will face not only the stiff international competition, but also local dark horses that could affect both their campaigns as local knowledge and experience could play a big role in this challenging final event. Watch out for Mariko Strickland (Naish), Rachel Bruntsch, Halie Harrison and Vanina Walsh (Starboard), but also Talia Decoite from Maui and many more as the world and Hawaii’s best will meet for this climactic final event for the 2014 season.
