The Jeep-Body Glove Surfbout in conjunction with the Oakley Pro Junior is a
4-Star ASP WQS / Grade 2 Pro Junior event that boasts a field of 224 international professional surfers who will compete for a part of the $85,000 prize purse, ASP ratings points and standing in the Macy’s California Trifecta Surf Series presented by Jeep.
Lured by the attraction of surfing one of the best waves in California, and by the prestige that comes with a solid performance in the US surf industry’s backyard, an elite field of competition will compete in both the WQS and Pro Junior divisions. Known for its heated competition and excellent conditions, the Body Glove Surfbout has a storied and venerated history. Considered to be one of the world’s most prestigious qualifying events, its winners list reads like a who’s who of the pro surfing world, as the vast majority of past champions have either been current, former or future WCT competitors. Last year, WCT hopeful Dustin Cuizon (HAW) and Eric Geiselman (USA) added their names to the legacy.
