    In an attempt to create an interesting thread, who do you guys think is going to win the Hurley Pro Trestles event?

    I, honestly, have just started to get hooked on watching the world title web casts. After Tahiti and NY, I have definitely been hooked.

    Who is your favorite for Trestles?

    I also just started watching the webcasts with Tahiti. I'm to the point now where I'm connecting my laptop to my TV just to have it on.

    I'll second the kelly vs. owen matchup.

    i'm going to go out on a limb and say julian wilson vs kerr

    all of the match ups will be great from here on though.

    I have one comment - everyone loves heitor's vertical backhand surfing, but it doesn't seem powerful at all, and maybe a bit overscored

    GLad to hear some of you guys are finally getting on the webcast bandwagon, over the past two years the quality of the commentary and webcast in general is fantastic. COmpetitve surfing is great shape righ tnow I dont care what Bobby Martinez says. Fantasy Surfer also helps keep ya rooting for guys.
    Kerr vs eElly is killing me though, i have both on my fantasy surfer team and with Taj loosing I got guys droppping like flys!

    Kelly is in form, but Eugene , Owen, and Julian can be super dangerous. ANd Julian and Parko have some sort of drama going on so their heat could get intense....

    Why cant point breaks exist like that on the east coast. I mean there's good jettys, but a point break would be nice

    not a point break, its a reef break... some scattered reefs around on the east coast, but not too many - mainly in the northeast and south florida.

    I always thought it was a cobble stone point out at Trestles, Either way. I want a LOOOONG wave. I saw a video of skeleton bay (http://vimeo.com/29194892)the other day and i hoping theres a day when i can get to some place like that. I know trestles is not quite as long, but still looks like fun.

    waves in NY were much better. i can't believe they're going to run this contest out today.

    all the ca guys were talking mad **** in the FB feed during the NY contest and look what happens - ny produces some fantastic surf and CA craps out with waist-chest+ and pretty weak.

    Fantasy surfer has encouraged me to watch event. The quality of webcasts have been getting better and better over the years. The Tahiti contest was amazing.

    So I got Kelly, Parko, Owen, Julian, Adriano, Dusty, Flores and John John on my fantasy team. Heitor knocking out Adriano hurt, I could have had all four semifinalists. I can't loose Quarterfinal #4. Owen looking good against Mick right now.
