After countless hearings, protests, and meetings, the proposed 241-Foothill South Toll Road extension was shut down. What started as a grassroots effort to save a surf break and state park, steamrolled through local, state and, finally, federal legislatures.

The California Coastal Commission (CCC) initially ruled against the proposed road --which threatened San Onofre State Park and Trestles surf beaches. However, the Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA) challenged their ruling on a national level. And after a federal hearing in late September, the Secretary of Commerce absorbed both sides' arguments and spent the past few months mulling it over in Washington.

"This morning we got word that the United States Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez upheld the California Coastal Commission's February ruling that the proposed extension to the 241 toll road violates California coastal law," said Surfrider Foundation Director of Marketing Matt McClain. "This decision makes it near impossible for the TCA to move forward with this project. In short - we won!"

In other words, if the TCA wants to complete the 241, they're going to have to find an alternative route that doesn't touch San Onofre State Park.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released the following statement:

"The commission objected to the proposed project under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) on the grounds that the toll road was not consistent with the state's coastal zone management program. The department determined that there is at least one reasonable alternative to the project. The department also found that the project is not necessary in the interest of national security. TCA may pursue another route for its proposed toll road that the commission determines is consistent with California's coastal zone management program."

Surfrider's McClain, who was largely responsible for leading the fight to save Trestles (along with coalition partners Friends of the Foothill and Sierra Club) rejoiced, "The TCA's options are pretty limited. They can appeal but the chances of them winning are really slim. Even if they won, they'd still have to deal with the existing litigation and go back in front of the CCC again. We're really calling upon the TCA to embrace these alternatives to deal with traffic problems that are environmentally friendly. We have them in a strong hammerlock and we're waiting for them to tap out."

The TCA hasn't released a statement yet and is currently reviewing the Secretary's decision. They can, however, file a lawsuit against the federal ruling. But, as the ruling states, the TCA should explore alternate routes for the 241.

"This is a tremendous victory for the entire surf community worldwide. It keeps the beach open and accessible with no damage to the break," said longtime surf industry veteran Bob Mignogna. "It also keeps the area beautiful without a gigantic superhighway covering the Old Coast Highway, which is where we walk down the path to Trestles. This is significant for surfers everywhere because it shows that the surf industry has political clout and together with the coalition partners we can be effective movers and shakers in the political world. This will set precedent for the rest of the surf world by motivating surfers everywhere to stand up and fight for what they believe is right."

Slater Wins 6th Billabong Pipeline Masters Title, His 6th Event Win in 2008

BANZAI PIPELINE, Hawaii (Friday, Dec. 12, 2008) – Nine-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA) has won the Billabong Pipeline Masters a record sixth time today. The victory is Slater’s sixth of the 11 event 2008 ASP World Tour season.

"It’s inexplicable,” Slater said of his win and banner season. “I’m just stoked. I wasn’t even worried about surfing the event, so to surf it and win and get that board (a Gerry Lopez designed surfboard trophy). I’ll cherish that for sure."

Slater has made the Pipeline Masters final 10 out of the 17 times he has entered the event winning in 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999 and again today. His 2008 win comes nine years after he last clinched the Pipeline crown in ‘99.

“My season is all about nines,” Slater said. “Winning this event nine years later, I needed a 9th in the ninth event of the year to win my 9th ASP World title, it’s crazy."

Slater paddled out in eight to 10 foot waves at Pipeline four times today, beating Chris Ward (USA) 14.00 to 7.23 in the in the first man-on-man final* held at the venue in eight years. Slater’s heat totals in the three heats prior to the final were 19.00, 18.63 and 19.40 – all out of a possible 20 points.

“It was disappointing that the waves didn’t really turn on for us in the final,” Slater said. “That’s what we are here for, to put on a show for people – at least give them some big wipeouts or something. In the final there weren’t too many waves, but I picked the right ones. It’s about time Wardo had a result like this though. He is one of the best barrel riders in the world.”

Ward’s final berth today is the second of his four-year ASP World Tour career. The Californian made the final of his first event on tour on the Gold Coast of Australia in 2005 but finished second there as well. His result today saw him jump from 27th to 14th on the year-end ratings.

"I placed better than last year and I would have loved that win but Kelly got all the good waves,” Ward said. “It was very hard out there, I think I missed a couple of good ones in the beginning but I am good. I’m happy."

Had Ward won the final, he would have won the 2009 Vans Triple Crown of Surfing title too. He ended up finishing third in the ASP Specialty Series that rewards the surfer with the best Hawaiian season performance across three events.

"It was a great feeling to be in reach of the Triple Crown,” Ward said. “I would definitely love to do it again in the future so I will try again."

Last year, Bede Durbidge became the first Australian to win the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing Title since Mike Rommelse (AUS) in 1997. This year the honor went to Australia’s Joel Parkinson who finished 5th in the first two legs of the Triple Crown held at Haleiwa and Sunset Beach and 9th at the Billabong Pipeline Masters.

“I’ve come runner-up to the Triple Crown a couple of times,” Parkinson said. “Andy nabbed it from me both times, so no hard feelings to Wardo, but I really didn’t want that to happen again. It feels amazing to actually take it home this time.”

The victory is doubly sweet given Parkinson made headlines earlier in the week by earning the first-ever perfect 20 out of 20 heat total at Pipeline – only the second perfect heat total in ASP history under the two wave format.

"It’s been a good couple of days,” Parkinson said. Today could have been better for me in terms of the event, but I am happy."

The heat of the day was the semifinal clash between Slater and Timmy Reyes (USA). Reyes emerged from a deep right-hand barrel to earn a 9.10 and with six minutes to go, had Slater needing a combination of scores to win the heat. In true Slater fashion, the nine-time world champ scored a 9.00 and 10.00 in a space of three minutes to take the heat.

“I almost beat Kelly which is pretty rad,” Reyes said. “I can’t get mad losing at someone who has nine world titles and it was good to win a couple of heats out here in all-time conditions at one of my favorite waves in the world.”

Reyes finished the year rated 16th courtesy of his equal 3rd place today.

Ward beat Australian Adrian Buchan 16.46 to 10.16 in their semifinal bout. Buchan finished in the semifinals or better three out of the last four events, a feat that saw him rocket to World No. 6 in 2008. Buchan finished the season 19th in 2007 and 44th in 2006.

"That’s what this year was about,” Buchan said. “Stepping up and trying to crack the Top 10 and establish myself up there and I think I have done that. I am pretty confident and looking forward to a short break and then getting back into it. I’m looking forward to next year already, it’s going to be exciting."

The Top 45 surfers on the 2009 ASP World Tour have been decided with surfers rated 1-27 on the 2008 ASP World Tour ratings automatically requalifying for the 2009 tour. Bede Durbidge (AUS) finished runner-up to the World Title which Slater claimed back in October.

Florida's C.J. Hobgood Wins O'Neill World Cup of Surfing at 10- to 15-Foot Sunset Beach

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 4 December, 2008 : - - Sunset Beach, Hi -- Florida's C.J. Hobgood, 29, won the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing today in clean 20- to 30-foot wave face heights, making Hobgood the first goofy-footer in 11 years to win at Sunset Beach.

Australia's Michael Romelese was the last goofy-foot to win at Sunset in 1997, he also won the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing title the same year. On his backhand, Hobgood, who was the 2001 ASP World Champ, charged his way to victory, gnabbing the biggest wave of the 35-minute final. Hobgood was blown away by his first place finish and the massive waves.

"It's perfect size and really clean. There was probably one or two sets a heat that were too big," Hobgood said. "Just some macking nuts waves out there. "My usual experience out at Sunset is just getting worked pretty much. This ranks up there with my WT wins and everything else because I never totally pictured myself winning this contest so it ranks that much higher.

"That just shows you what Sunset can do. You just roll the dice, go out and sometimes Mother Nature is good to you and other times it just beats you down. "There's four guys out there, but you never really see your competitors the whole time. It's Man versus Nature out there and that's what makes Sunset so challenging and appealing."

Hobgood avoided Sunset's wrath and negotiated the giant walls of water beautifully, scoring an 8.5 and 6.5 rides to win the 6-Star Qualifying Series Event. Australia's Tom Whitaker, 29, also surfed well in the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing and finished runner-up. Whitaker was in awe of the quality of surf Sunset Beach produced today/

"It's pretty much as dreamy as Sunset gets it's beautifully clean and really, really good sized," Whitaker said. "It's not too big and scary. It was just beautiful all day and I think I saw some of the best waves I've ever seen at Sunset. And, for the final day of the tournament to run in such good conditions it was really cool."

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 22 November, 2008 : - - Haleiwa -- Tahitian Michel Bourez, 22, scored a career-best win in Hawaii today, taking first place in the $135,000 Reef Hawaiian Pro and an early lead on the prestigious Vans Triple Crown of Surfing series ratings.

Prior to today, Bourez's best result was a minor event win in the Canary Islands in 2005. Today's result takes him to the No.2 ranking on the ASP World Qualifying Series ratings, guaranteeing him a start on the elite ASP World Tour in 2009. Bourez earned $15,000 for his win today.

Runner-up was Brazil's Jihad Khodr, 24 ($7,500); third was Hawaii's Kekoa Bacalso (Mililani, $4,500), and fourth was Maui's Dusty Payne, the youngest of the finalists at 19 and the only surfer to come all the way through from the very first round, surfing eight times to earn $4,400.

In conditions that more closely resembled the hollow tubes of Tahiti or Hawaii's Off-The-Wall, Bourez hit his stride in the semi-finals in an unbelievable demonstration of deep tube-riding and critical power maneuvers, posting the highest wave and heat scores of the entire event: 18.96 points out of 20 for the heat, and 9.93 out of 10 for his top tube ride. In the final, he posted a total of 16.77 points with scores of 9.77 and 7.0.

"That semi was maybe the best heat of my life," said Bourez. "Everybody was getting barreled I was screaming my head off. It was so sick. I was having so much fun out there and that's what I call a good contest.

"It means a lot to just (qualify for) the World Tour. I've been dreaming about this my whole life since I started to surf. I've been watching all the best surfers, like Kelly (Slater) and (Rob) Machado, all those guys. And, right now I can surf with them. It's a good opportunity for me and all the Tahitian surfers. I'm stoked for Tahiti."

If Bourez can hold onto his lead of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing series ratings, he could win a $10,000 bonus and a $10,000 one-of-a-kind Nixon tide watch featuring over two-carats of diamonds. Khodr also had the crowd going wild with a hugely successful mix of determination, tube-riding and never-say-die attack on every wave he rode. Khodr peaked on time in the final, coming so close but just short of the win.

His final scoreline: 16.5 with individual wave scores of 8.5 and 8.0 for a couple of great tubes that were slightly shorter and not as deep as Bourez's. Khodr's result today moved him up to fifth on the WQS rankings and back onto the World Tour stage in 2009

VANS TRIPLE CROWN OFFERS INTENSE CONCLUSION TO 2008

Reef Hawaiian Pro, Haleiwa, Nov.12-23 - 6-star Prime WQS, O’Neill World Cup of Surfing, Sunset Beach, Nov.24-Dec.6 - 6-star Prime WQS, Billabong Pipeline Masters, Pipeline, Dec. 8-20 - final World Tour event

For a quarter century the Vans Triple Crown has offered the most dependable and impressive platform on Earth for aspiring surfers to make their mark. Over 25 years, this distinguished pro surfing series has been responsible for making and breaking the careers of surfers from around the world. 2008 will be no different.

It used to be that the talent of the locals was as formidable as the giant waves themselves, but over the years the world has caught up. Today, 17 nations fly their flag at the Vans Triple Crown, and Hawaii surfers will have to work hard to keep pace. As the final stop of the Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour, the guillotine of qualification and re-qualification falls heaviest on Hawaii’s North Shore.

As the 2008 season winds to a close, Hawaii and Brazil stand to incur the heaviest cuts this season. The 2008 ASP World Tour featured five Hawaii surfers but those numbers could dwindle dramatically for 2009.

Former world champion Andy Irons’ competitive plans for the future are unclear, although he looks safe to re-qualify based on his ratings points. His brother Bruce Irons plans to opt out of the tour at the end of the year. Pancho Sullivan is failing to re-qualify, and Roy Powers hovers dangerously close to the cut-off point of 25 on the World Tour rankings (he’s currently rated 24th). Fred Patacchia may be the lone Hawaii survivor, currently ranked 15th.

Looking at the springboard World Qualifying Series (WQS), there is no fresh Hawaii talent qualifying to date, leaving hopefuls Kekoa Bacalso and Dustin Barca as only outside chances. Both of these surfers will need to make a semi-final at either the Reef Hawaiian Pro or the O’Neill World Cup in order to jump up the ratings and qualify.

Brazil boasted six World Tour surfers this year - third-highest behind Australia (17) and USA (9). They now look like halving that representation with only one World Tour surfer currently re-qualifying: Adriano de Souza, who is presently ranked an impressive fifth in the world. On the WQS, only two Brazilians are currently qualifying: Hizunome Bettero and Simao Romao.

For World Tour surfers the final test is always the hardest, coming in the form of the Billabong Pipeline Masters. Nothing can be more intense than knowing you need to step up and perform at the world’s deadliest, most storied wave in order to keep your career alive. Add to that the controversial format that throws 16 local Pipeline specialists against the world’s top 48 at the most critical point of the year. These 16 Pipeline locals have been notorious for upsets over the past two years of this format and Pipeline remains one break where Hawaii surfers continue to shine.

When the 2008 Hawaiian winter draws to a finish, the final award is that of the prestigious Vans Triple Crown title, which carries a $10,000 bonus. In 25 years it has been won by a short-list of just 11 surfers, all of whom are from either Hawaii, Australia or Mainland USA. Kelly Slater is the only Mainland American to ever claim the title, and while he has amassed an incredible nine world titles prior to touching down in Hawaii this winter, he has only secured two Triple Crown titles.

The Vans Triple Crown still stands as the ultimate testing ground.

The 2008 men’s Vans Triple Crown of Surfing will offer a total prize purse of $600,000.

This months Bubble Grom is Kyle Galtes from Kaui, HI. Its been a month full of accomplishments for Kyle, claiming his second NSSA Open Mens division victory of the season earning him the NSSA surfer of the week for 11/3/08. His early season success cements his status as one of the top contenders for an NSSA National Title coming out of Hawaii this year.

The ASP WQS cutoff hits 11,000 points as Brazilians Jean Da Silva and Wiggolly Dantas win ASP WQS 6-Star events on both sides of the Atlantic.

The ASP WQS cutoff has hit 11,000 after the second week in a row where the ASP WQS Top 15 frontrunners failed to protect their lead. Of the Top 15 going into the last ASP WQS 6-Star events, only six of them reached a Quarterfinal or better. At Lanzarote, Drew Courtney with a 3rd, at Maresia, Dustin Barca with a 2nd, in Onbongo, Josh Kerr with a 5th, at Estoril, Gabe Kling with a 2nd, Tiago Pires with a 3rd and Marlon Lipke with a 5th.

The failure of these guys to take the big points as they have all year has meant that all those below them have jumped up dramatically in the ratings, and now, with just the two ASP WQS 6-Star Primes in Hawaii left and most of the ASP Top 45 competing in them, the surfers who are able to overcome the Dream Tour combatants and hot Hawaiian locals have a great chance of qualifying.

However, seeing that the chances of that happening are slim, the current ASP WQS Top 15 look like they’ll be the goods. At the Onbongo event in Brazil, 7 of the final 8 were Brazilians with Josh Kerr the lone Aussie. Across the Atlantic in Portugal at the Estoril Pro, it was a mixed bag with 7 different countries in the final 8.

Up at Santa Cruz at the ASP WQS 4-Star O’Neill Coldwater Classic, it was USA mainland versus Hawaii for the final 16 surfers, with junior surfer Nat Young coming out on top while Mason Ho was victorious in the ASP Pro Junior division.

In the ratings, the Top 15 remain unchanged except for Hizunome Bettero (BRA) and Simao Romao (BRA) replacing Michel Bourez (PYF) and Dustin Barca (HAW), however, inside the Top 15 are major changes.

Gabe Kling (USA) has moved up from 9th to 3rd, Josh Kerr (AUS) from 7th to 4th, Tiago Pires (PRT) 15th to 6th and Marlon Lipke (DEU) from 12th to 9th, while ping down were Pat Gudauskas (USA) 6th to 11th, Drew Courtney (AUS) 4th to 7th and David Weare (ZAF) 5th to 9th. The big mover outside the Top 15 into a possible contention slot was Jadson Andre (BRA), 32nd to 18th.

Surfers carrying some low throwaways that could jump in the ratings are Dustin Barca (HAW), Jadson Andre (BRA) and Kekoa Bacalso (HAW). Those inside the Top 15 that can jump also are Phil MacDonald (AUS), Simao Romao (BRA) and David Weare (ZAF).

Guys near the cutoff like Michel Bourez (PYF), Yadin Nicol (AUS) and Jihad Khodr (BRA) are looking for 1,600 points or better so will need a Semifinal in either Haleiwa or Sunset.

The current ratings for the Top 20 are Curran,Nathaniel USA 1 13200 Davidson,Chris AUS 2 12525 Kling,Gabe USA 3 12301 Kerr,Josh AUS 4 12075 Boal,Tim FRA 5 11888 Pires,Tiago PRT 6 11750 Courtney,Drew AUS 7 11600 Emslie,Greg ZAF 8 11463 Lipke,Marlon DEU 9 11450 Weare,David ZAF 9 11450 Gudauskas,Patrick USA 11 11438 MacDonald,Phillip AUS 12 11263 Bettero,Hizunome BRA 13 11125 Muscroft,Nic AUS 14 11075 Romao,Simao BRA 15 11000 Bourez,Michel PYF 16 10900 Barca,Dustin HAW 17 10826 Andre,Jadson BRA 18 10738 Nicol,Yadin AUS 19 10675 Khodr,Jihad BRA 20 10575
