On May 3rd Lower Trestles, in San Clemente, CA, will host the forth ASP Prime 6.0 Lowers Pro. Stakes are high with a prize purse of $250,000 (impressive considering last year's prize was only $20,000) and a 14-karat gold railroad spike trophy. But that's not all, for the younger group (20 years old or younger) 32 surfers will battle it our for a $25,000 purse.

As one of only three PRIME events on the US mainland, expect to see big crowds and impressive riding.

It was a very special thing for Nike 6.0 to enable and witness the progression of the sport happen at last year's 6.0 Lowers Pro, says Zach Boon, Nike 6.0 North American Brand Manager. Now that the ASP's evolution has taken hold, the role that the Lowers Pro plays is more crucial than ever. The hungry competitorsbattling to make it to the World Tour, the top 32 fighting for points to stay on Tour, and a performance wave like Lowers are all ingredients that make this PRIME event an exciting time to be a surfer.

Who will take home the sought after Railroad Spike? Make sure to watch surfers battle it out May 3- 7 at Lower Trestles.
