The ASP Tour is coming off a ridiculous high following one of the best contests in their history at the famous Teahupo’o. Gabriel Medina is absolutely on fire but is not favored to win at Trestles, which is a testament to how Kelly Slater has owned this event in 5 of the last 7 years. Other California boys are slated to have good tournaments as well, and I know everyone is hoping that Trestles can somehow duplicate some of the waves that Hurricane Marie brought just a week earlier.
If you are looking to put down some money on any of these surfers for the Hurley Pro, head on over to BetDSI sportsbook.
