Top Stories Surfing What is a tropical storm? And after the mid-season cut, fans will no longer see veteran CJ Hobgood or black sheep Bobby Martinez on tour.
East Coaster Gabe Kling was also cut. To kick off the contest, a wildcard heat to determine the final two entrants to the contest will run first thing in the morning.
The trials final is tentatively scheduled for AM tomorrow, according to the Hurley Pro official Twitter account. The first wildcard slot goes to the trials winner, while the second goes to the highest placing Hurley team rider in the trials. The trials final heat will be immediately followed by Round 1 Heat 1 of the main event. The waiting period for the contest runs from September Toggle navigation.
Preview Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Final. Historically and statistically speaking, nobody's better. The site of his breakout win at the Body Glove Surfbout "It's the morning of the final" , Slater has owned the cobblestone point for 20 years. In the 10 years since Lowers was added to the World Tour calendar, Slater has never missed an event, and from to he didn't miss a final. He owns four titles and a win percentage close to 90 percent. He also holds the record for the highest heat score.
Seems as if a result in San Clemente, Calif. Nobody really pegged Owen Wright to do what he's done. We knew he had it in him, we knew he was capable, but the skinny lad from Lennox Head, Australia, has certainly stepped it up.

At 39, obviously Slater brings the experience, along with all the other intangibles that come with being the time world champion. Due to their seeding, the two find themselves on opposite sides of the draw, which means a finals pairing is well within the realm of possibility.
But there are others. Not enough has been made of Josh Kerr and his "This is my after heat win interview hat" -- a trucker's cap we've seen quite often lately. Transplanting from Australia to California, Kerr knows the cobblestones well and, after New York and Tahiti, probably has some kind of score to settle with Slater. He's been down at Lowers all week warming up, and according to occasional ESPN Surfing contributor and aerial connoisseur Jon Steele, "punting some sick ones.
As for the walking wounded, it would appear that Dane Reynolds and Jordy Smith remain day to day with respective rib injuries. After pulling out of the Quiksilver Pro New York, Reynolds' manager, Blair Marlin, could not confirm his client's status, but considering he's missed every event this year, the smart money is on him no-showing.
