Caity Simmers kicked off 2024 with a bang, claiming an impressive victory at Pipeline in 8-foot surf. Her iconic declaration, “Pipeline is for the f—king girls,” sparked a wave of excitement across the internet and set the stage for an extraordinary year. Alongside her Championship Tour success, including three major wins and a triumph at the WSL Finals, Simmers solidified her reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the surfing world.
As 2025 quickly approaches, Simmers is gearing up for the new season as both the defending Pipe Pro champion and the reigning world champion. With the anticipation building, she now faces the pressure of maintaining her world champion status. But given her track record and unshakable demeanor, it’s clear that Simmers is more than capable of handling it.
Her ability to stay authentic and composed in the face of competition is part of what sets Simmers apart. Whether it’s her playful responses to WSL commentators’ questions or her fearless approach to challenging waves at Pipeline and Teahupo’o, she’s becoming a fan favorite for both freesurfing and Championship Tour events. Much like Dane Reynolds before her, Simmers is making waves both on and off the water.
Before diving into the 2025 season, Simmers released a 20-minute surf film titled Blouse. The film showcases her freesurf highlights from 2024, featuring footage from Hawaii, Portugal, Australia, and her hometown break of North Jetty in Oceanside. Described as a “lightweight, decorative surf film made of fine fabric,” Blouse weaves together Simmers’ year in a visually stunning package. Edited by Simmers herself with the help of Guilherme Martins, the film serves as another reminder of her extraordinary talent.
As Simmers heads into the new season, her chances for continued success look strong. While she faces formidable competition, including rookie sensation Erin Brooks, Simmers is in peak form and appears to be riding a wave of momentum that shows no signs of slowing down. With a flow state that’s rare to find, she seems primed for another standout year.
