The 6.0 Lowers Pro will hit world famous Lower Trestles, San Clemente, Calif. for the first stop of the Macy's California Trifecta Surf Series April 29 to May 3, 2008. The Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Qualifying Series (WQS) 4 Star will also play host to an ASP Grade 2 Oakley Pro Junior May 2-3. The five-day world-class surfing event will feature top professional and junior competitors from around the globe. The 6.0 Lowers Pro will upgrade to a 6 Star in 2009, making it one of only two North American 6 Stars, helping to bring back relevance to the ASP North American leg of the WQS and ensuring that the legacy of competitive surfing at Lowers continues to grow.

The Macy's California Trifecta Surf Series was formed in 2005 to strengthen surfing in America and has added additional cash and prize incentives each year since its inception. The Trifecta series provides surfers with an opportunity to earn crucial points towards the ASP WQS and Pro Junior end-of-year rankings, which factors into advancement to the coveted ASP World Tour and ASP World Junior Championships. Additionally, the series will award a $33,333 bonus to the surfer who takes first-place in all three WQS events.
