Hurley Pro 2009


The Hurley Pro at Lower Trestles, California is the only ASP World Tour stop to go down on mainland USA.

Kelly Slater took his 34th career win at Lower Trestles back in 2007, breaking Tom Curren’s previous record. Some say this place flatters the most average of surfer, but when the best guys in the world rock up to tear the waves apart, flattery will not be getting anyone anywhere. This is the most attackable wave on the planet.

Andy Irons took the first ASP World Tour event to be held here back in 2000. The USA’s Kelly Slater has since taken three wins here, clearing up in the last two years. After a shaky start at the beginning of this year, he will be looking to reaffirm his position as the greatest surfer of all time, and what better place to do it than on home surf.

As we approach the business end of the season, competition will be hot. The consistent waves at Trestles will be pounded by the fins of the world’s best. Tune in for the latest video highlights and you will not be disappointed.
