For the past
18 years, Newport's true "surfer's event" has kept its
focus on the local competitor. The Newport Pro has a rich history
of providing excellent amateur AND Pro competition and has been
a key ingredient in fostering mainland US professional surfing.
Now
as a pivotal event on the Macy’s California Trifecta Surf
Series presented by Jeep, a first place result brings competitors
closer to a huge cash prize with $33,333 on the line for the surfer
that takes first place in all 3 of events of the series or a $10,000
cash prize to the year end points leader.
Despite the
presence of big-name pros, the local community divisions remain
the core of this unique contest which provides next-generation
stars and local rivals an opportunity to battle it out in their
own backyard.

Josh Hoyer
