Wave world champions

The professional World Cup awarded a wave world title from its first season, 1983; women's titles from 1984. The title was awarded by the WBA until 1987, by the PBA until 1995 and by the PWA from 1996; since 2023 the PWA and the IWT crown one joint wave champion. In 1984, 1986 and 1996 the sources name two women as champion, and none says whether they shared the title.
