The 2025 Margaret River Wave Classic roared into action yesterday with mast high waves and power performances from some of the world's best riders.

We're down to the final 8 of the men's and women's divisions. Here are the total heat scores from the men's quarter finals of those advancing to the semis:

  • Jaeger Stone 14.5 highest heat score
  • Philip Koster 13.3
  • Simon Thule 13.0
  • Julian Salmonn 12.7
  • Ricky VanDertoon 12.1
  • Peter Kenyon 11.9
  • Hendrix Stone 11.3
  • Ian Pott 11.2

The women were charging hard at the 2025 4 Star Margaret River Wave Classic. Jane Seman was on fire and wowed the crowd and the judges with a late hit aerial at the powerful break. Other strong performances came from the young girls getting a lot of attention like Sarah Kenyon, Jaiya Mars Morris, and Santina Pillonel all proving themselves to be extraordinary strong young women on the rise.

Philip Koster had a very good day at the 2025 4 Star Margaret River Wave Classic. Pouring on the power, he won his first round heat and jumped straight to round 3 quarter finals. He then made short work of the Quarter to advance into the Semis. A master class from the 5 x World Wave Champion.

The highest quarter final total heat score came from the red hot Jaeger Stone. On current form, he's the favorite by a narrow margin over 5 x world champion Philip Koster, fellow German shredder Julian Salmonn, and the Danish Simon Thule.

Simon has been competing for a long time but after 4 months here in Western Australia last season and another long stint this season he has become rather formidable. The next generation is always on the rise and there's a lot of exciting new talent emerging here.

Day 2 Sunday will be Finals Day. Stay tuned, and be sure to follow the @margaretriver_wswaveclassic and the @iwt_wave_tour for all the up to date action and info.
