Nestled in San Clemente, Calif., Trestles is a destination for progressive surfing; a Mecca with multiple, alluring breaks for visitors and locals alike. The waves here are often compared to a skate park featuring a consistent, ramp-like shape and long, crumbly lines. While the pros pull standard maneuvers to tally points, pushing the envelope during contests is par for the course. The Innovation Awards offer recognition outside the scope of heat wins and title claims.
Judges for the 2014 Innovation Award look at the most progressive performances of the Trestles contests to date.
"I'm looking for someone who is going to be a pioneer of progressive surfing," ASP Women's WCT commissioner Jessi Miley-Dyer said. "This is such a high-performance wave, the surfers who really go for it should be rewarded."
A collection of video clips showing the most innovative maneuvers was compiled throughout the events. After the last surfers are out of the water, ASP analysts Rosy Hodge, Martin Potter, and Ross Williams and ASP commissioners Kieren Perrow (men's WCT), Miley-Dyer and Peter Mel (BWWT) made their picks.
