Jesse Palmer will host the eight-episode series alongside commentators Erin Coscarelli and Joe Turpel. Alliances and rivalries will be front and centre as men and women compete in individual and team challenges focused on specific surfing disciplines.
Weekly eliminations will leave two men and two women as finalists who will vie for the male and female titles of “The Ultimate Surfer” and the opportunity to compete on the elite WSL Championship Tour, the pinnacle of professional surfing. Slater’s remarkable, one-of-a-kind, human-made wave—the most even playing field for measuring surf mastery—is at the heart of the series.
The show is produced by Lionsgate’s Pilgrim Media Group and WSL Studios. President of Lionsgate Nonfiction Television and Pilgrim CEO and Chair Craig Piligian, WSL CEO Erik Logan, UFC President Dana White and Faye Stapleton serve as executive producers.
