The Corona Open J-Bay 2019 was the sixth event of the Men's Championship Tour in the 2019 World Surf League. It took place from 9 to 19 July at Jeffreys Bay in Eastern Cape, South Africa, and was contested by 36 surfers.[1]

In an all-Brazilian final, Gabriel Medina defeated Italo Ferreira to win the 13th Championship Tour event of his career. He also became the first goofy foot surfer to win the J-Bay Open since 1984.[2]

Format[]

A new competition format was introduced for the 2019 Championship Tour. All 36 surfers take part in the Seeding Round. The top two surfers in each heat advance directly to the Round of 32, while the lowest-placed surfer in each heat enters the Elimination Round. In each of the four heats in the Elimination Round, the top two surfers advance to the Round of 32, while the lowest-placed surfer is eliminated from the competition. From the Round of 32 onwards, the competition follows a single elimination format, with the winner of each head-to-head heat advancing to the next round and the loser being eliminated.[3]

The competition took place from 9 to 19 July.[4]
