Julian Wilson (AUS), 22, reveled in the high-performance waves on offer at Lowers today to earn the highest scores of Hurley Pro at Trestles Round 1 competition. LOWER TRESTLES, San Clemente, CA (Sunday, September 18, 2011) –  The opening day of the 2011 Hurley Pro at Trestles saw the world’s best surfers tear into high-performance two-to-three foot (1 metre) waves at the iconic pointbreak of Lower Trestles, and the event’s top seeds dominated against the new addition of ASP Dream Tour surfers brought on via the midyear rotation. Stop No. 7 of 11 on the ASP Dream Tour, the Hurley Pro at Trestles has played a crucial role in determining the ASP World Champion over the past three years, with the event winner building momentum in to the back half of the year. Julian Wilson (AUS), 22 carried momentum from last week’s equal 3rd place finish in New York and dismantled both the lefts and rights at Lower Trestles to earn both the day’s highest single-wave score of 8.93 (out of 10) as we...

2011 Festival de Cannes

Here we are again in May 2011 for a new edition of the Cannes Film Festival. The story continues, the story begins, the story is invented and re-invented every year and at the same time, the festival team and the city of Cannes prepare to greet artists and professionals from around the world. With, shall we say, love, appetite and impatience. For it seems that floating on the Croisette is a scent of lightness, desire and peace. If each edition has a particular mood, 2011 is already, even before the first screen lights up, very exciting. Why, how and when does public opinion decides that "Cannes will be great this year"? It's a mystery ... and rightly so. Consider what is required: the enthusiasm of the press at the announcement of the selection on April 14th, the arrival of the greatest filmmakers, actors and other film artists, the massive return of professionals, film-buffs, and a vibrant Film Market. As to the weather, unless our favorite Icelandic volcano acts alone ...

Kelly Slater isn't new world champ yet; ASP says it made an error.

Check that: Surfing legend Kelly Slater  didn't  win his 11th world title ... or at least not yet. The Assn. of Surfing Professionals released a statement Friday admitting the organization made a calculation error in its rankings system and prematurely  gave Slater the title Tuesday . In fact, the 39-year-old Slater needs one more heat win at the Rip Curl Pro Search in San Francisco or at the following event at Pipeline in Hawaii to win his record 11th world title.  "Our rankings' system is designed to split tie-breaks based off of seed points,” Renato Hickel, ASP World Tour Manager, said in a statement. "Kelly  and Owen [Wright] tied at best nine of 11 results, so we went to best eight of 11 results and the system gave it to Kelly based off his higher seed position. We were operating under that assumption and created the ASP World Title scenarios based off of that. "This was a mistake. In the end, we’re responsible for this and should be held accountable. We a...
