Everything We Know About Intense New Reality Show, 'The Ultimate Surfer'

The Ultimate Surfer is being touted as the biggest, best, most explosively entertaining reality television show that the summer of 2021 has ever seen and is being described as a definite must-see. Fourteen men and women will live and train together, and the cameras will be rolling as they journey through the ups and downs during intense competitions.

There will be weekly eliminations that distinguish the strongest surfers, with each challenge focusing on a specific surfing discipline. The show will feature individual as well as team challenges, which spices things up with a whole lot of drama and some very hot romance.

Sources reveal that this is the show of the summer. The Ultimate Surfer promises to deliver entertainment value to the max.

8 It Promises Intense Drama And Rivalries

ABC promises fans that this is not going to be an average surfing competition show. In fact, there isn't going to be anything "average" about this show at all. Alliances and rivalries are going to take fans on a wild ride, as the cast members quickly discover who can be trusted and who is going to stir things up on the show.

The mere fact that the show pairs the top surfers and top up-and-coming surfers in the world and throws them into the same house together, is as explosive and competitive as their actual surfing challenges are. Trust is questioned and tempers flare up.

4 The Premiere Spans Across Two Episodes

This show brings the heat and is packed with so much drama that it couldn't all fit into one premiere episode. There was just too much in the way of cast introduction, explanation of the show, and challenge explanation to fit all the fun in to one show.

Instead, this action-packed, emotion-filled reality TV show will be broken up into a 2-night premiere. Those looking to get their fix of The Ultimate Surfer need to set two nights aside to make sure they don't miss the fun. The first episode launches on Monday, August 23rd, with the second scheduled to air on Tuesday, August 24th, at 10 pm ET.

3 Meet The Key Players

The surfers will try to ride the perfect wave while being guided by the very special host of this show, none other than former NFL quarterback Jesse Palmer. This is where romantic element of the show takes form, as many will recognize Jesse from his time on season 5 of The Bachelor. He will be joined by commentator Erin Coscarelli and Joe Turpel, who is recognized as the official voice of professional surfing. The show would not be complete without Kelly Slater, who is joining the cast of the show by taking on the role of special correspondent.
