PRESS RELEASE
Hurley Pro Trestles Called OFF Again, Will Finish Tomorrow
Hurley Pro Trestles
Stop No. 6 of 10 on the 2009 ASP World Tour
Lower Trestles, California USA
September 13 – 19, 2009
 LOWER TRESTLES, California (Friday, September 18, 2009) – Small surf has forced the third consecutive lay day for the Hurley Pro Trestles, with only inconsistent one-to-two foot (0.5 metre) surf on offer today.
Event No. 6 of 10 on the 2009 ASP World Tour, the Hurley Pro Trestles went on hold for most of the morning in hopes of a swell increase, but inconsistency, combined with the continued small size, prompted event organizers to call competition off for the day.
“The surf never approached a level where we were comfortable running today,” Perry Hatchett, ASP Head Judge, said. “We’ll begin competition tomorrow morning at 7am sharp and will finish by day’s end.”
Surfline, official forecaster of the Hurley Pro Trestles, is calling for a moderate southwest energy to continue filling in over the next several days.
When competition resumes, up first will be former event winner Bede Durbdige (AUS), 26, up against compatriot Kai Otton (AUS), 29, in Heat 1 of Round 4.
