Legendary locals gear up for the Hurley Pro

Ripping is in San Clemente surfers’ DNA. With T-Street and the Pier in the front yard and Lowers in the back, it’s no surprise that many waveriding breakthroughs started right here in this sleepy little SoCal town. Jim Hogan’s layback lipslides. Matt Archbold’s massive backside airs. Christian Fletcher winning 30 grand with big frontside airs (when no one else was doing them). Beschen, Nate, Wardo all the way down to young Kolohe Andino, San Clementians are born to shred.

 

With this in mind, the Hurley Pro at Lowers teamed up with Nike 6.0 to recognize this tradition of high-performance wizardry. On the final day of the event, eight of San Clemente’s legends and heroes in the making will take to the water for a Super Session. Called the Nike 6.0 San Clemente Super Session, this rogue crew of surf renegades will compete for a winner-take-all purse of $6,000. “Super stoked to be a part of this,” says former World No. 2 Shane Beschen. “I’ll be surfing with my friends at a spot where a lot of great stuff has gone down over the years.”
