Surfing career

Cibilic started on the professional circuit in 2015 on the Junior Tour. He played in the Qualifying Series until 2019, when he finished in 11th place and secured the last spot on the 2020 Championship Tour. [1]

Cibilic made his CT debut in the 2021 season and had a historic year. He reached the final of the Rip Curl Rottnest Search, losing to Gabriel Medina, [2] as well as other good results that saw him finish the season in 5th place, qualifying for the first WSL Finals in history as a Rookie. [3] [4] With this placing he was the best Rookie of the season and won the 2021 WSL Rookie of the Year. In the Finals, he lost to American Conner Coffin, ending his historic season. [5]

In the 2022 season, Cibilic experienced the other extreme: he had a terrible start to the season, finishing 29th in the mid-season cut-off and failing to reclassify for next season's CT. [6] Since then he's been trying to get back into the CT via the Challenger Series. He took part in the 2024 season at the Bells Beach as a replacement, finishing 5th in the event.
