If you’re heading down to Lower Trestles in the next couple of weeks don’t be surprised if you spot some superstars in the lineup.

In less than a month the sixth stop of the ASP World Championship Tour will be making a stop at the famous point break.

The Hurley Pro formerly known as the Boost Mobile Pro contest will bring out the best 45 surfers from around the globe along with a couple of wildcards.

Currently sitting in the lead in the WCT ratings is Aussie Joel Parkinson followed by Florida’s CJ Hobgood who’s in second place.

It looks like 9-time World Champion Kelly Slater will be in attendance at Lowers this year.  Slater was off to a bad start at the beginning of 2009 with three 17ths, a win and a ninth place finish.  He’s now moved up into 8th place in the ratings and is looking for a tenth world title.

The Hurley Pro official waiting period begins on Sunday September 13 and runs through Wednesday September 19. Watch the live webcast here.
