The herd has been culled…remaining heats at the Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro include Fred Patacchia, Dusty Payne, the Hobgood brothers, Wardo, Michel Bourez, Dane Reynolds, Rob Machado and more.

Local boys and WCT surfers alike light up Lowers on day two of the Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro.

Michel Bourez dominates opening day of ASP 6-Star Prime 6.0 Lowers Pro...day one action from Lower Trestles!

This morning it dawned on me, there’s a 6-Star Prime right in our backyard! Should be fun to see the world’s best rip Lowers, especially with the favorable south swells we’re seeing line up right now! We’ll be on it with photos and such…

Pretty cool that we finally have a WQS 6* Prime contest here in SoCal! Personally I can’t wait to see guys like Pancho Sullivan and Michel Bourez surf against the best California has to offer…

The entire California coastline enjoys an off-season south swell and we've got you covered from San Diego To Santa Cruz!

The Surfrider Foundation has not stopped monitoring the TCA. We still attend (and film) their Board of Directors meetings… AND we are waiting with bated breath to see what they actually mean when they say: "The TCA will reach out to stakeholders and seek common ground for traffic solutions…"

Well people, mark down this day in history because it’s very special, this is the day that we won! Emails from the Surfrider Foundation started coming in around 10:00 this morning (December 18, 2008) with the title “We Won!

As the best sport in the world, surfing has its fair share of rivalries as well. Some are media hype, some are real-deal bitter battles. Either way, these wars make surfing better—and keep us frothing for more trash talking and epic battles!

Check out some goodies from Baja to San Francisco during the month of October. "This year Halloween fell on the weekend, so me and Geto Boys went trick or treatin'."

The battle for Trestles continues. A new hearing will be held on September 22, 2008 in O’Brien Hall at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, 2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, Del Mar, CA 92014. Starts at 10:30 a.m., get there.

“That is my plan,” De Souza said. “One day I want to be the World Champ and I have to move from my home to do it. I’ll be able to do more training in America and hopefully I can put it together next year.”

Ever wonder what WCTers spend their non-contest time doing? Well this is just a look into one day with Bede Durbidge. The overall winners for the 2008 Sun Diego/MADA Surf Series got hooked up to spend an entire day with Bede around Southern California, and even a shred sesh at Lowers...

Kelly Slater narrowly defeated Taj Burrow today at Lower Trestles to claim victory at the Boost Mobile Pro presented by Hurley, coming that much closer to his elusive ninth World Title. We've got so much from our local World Tour event we decided to give you a huge helping of our photogs greatest from the final day...

It's not everyday that a World Tour event is in your backyard. Well, it's once a year to be specific. But not everyone has that luxury. So we here at Transworld SURF want to show you what you don't see on the webcast, and what you might have seen if you were lucky enough to make it to Lowers.
