Surfing at the 2024 Summer Olympics

'' cruise ship served as the village for the surfers. The surfing competition was staged in Teahupo'o, Tahiti, in the French overseas collectivity of French Polynesia in the southern Pacific. The decision was made to hold the surfing competition in the French territory instead of continental Europe because of the famous massive waves on the island suitable for the surfing competitions. Participants in the surf competitions were the only ones not staying at the Paris Olympic Village on L'Île-Saint-Denis, and stayed instead on the ship M/V Aranui 5 anchored off Tahiti as the first floating Olympic village. The surfing competition was also the only event held without spectators. ==Qualification==

The qualification system for Paris 2024 built on the previous format used for Tokyo 2020, ensuring the participation of the world's best professional surfers, along with the vast promotion of geographical universal opportunities for surfers around the world at the Games. While the quota of two male and two female surfers per country remains intact, two exceptions to this rule have been introduced for the ISA World Surfing Games 2022 and 2024 team champions. These exceptions may increase the quota for some teams to three surfers. ==Competition schedule==

On 29July, the weather turned dangerous towards the end of round3 of the men's shortboard event, forcing the postponement of the women's third round. The waves continued to be too rough for competition over the next two days, leading to the last women's round and all finals being postponed. Surfing resumed on 1August. == Participating nations ==
