Body Glove Surf Team Photos from Hurley Pro at Lower Trestles

Unless you have been living under a surf rock or have been too busy surfing your favorite waves during the last run of swell you probably saw some of the incredible footage from the Hurley Pro where they scored 3 days of pumping south swell Lower Trestles in San Clemente, California. Event winner Kelly Slater put on quite a show but so did the Body Glove Team of Dusty Payne, Gabe Kling and Luke Stedman. Here are a few shots from an incredible week. All photos by Mike Balzer!

Body Glove's Gabe Kling has had a roller coaster ride for the last year and a half or so. Plagued with serious knee injuries since the beginning of 2009 his 2009 Pro Tour season was not all he hoped it would be. In some of the best Lowers conditions seen in years, Kling showed up to compete and even surprised himself. On the last day Kling turned it on, took out 3 world champions and took home the top prize.

The Florida natives win will give him a serious push in the right direction for qualifying for next year's ASP Dream Tour. Congratulations Gabe from the entire Body Glove family!!!

Body Glove is stoked to up the ante for the Body Glove Fantasy Surfer Skybox for the only California ASP World Tour event at Lower Trestles the Hurley Pro starting September 13th. Body Glove has a long history at Lowers with over 15 years of the Body Glove Surfbout and we want to do something special to commemorate the event and to support the Body Glove Fantasy Surfer Skybox participants and our friends at Hurley who stepped up big for the event this year.

Body Glove loves surfing above the water but knows there is an entire world below the water that all surfers should learn about and explore. Body Glove team riders Alex Gray, Austin Ware, Mike Losness, Cheyne Magnusson and Holly Beck are all certified avid divers now and when there are waves they surf and when it is flat they dive. For the Trestles event Body Glove will continue to offer a 2009 3/2 Vapor Fullsuit to the winner and will also add a free PADI SCUBA Open Water Dive Certification Class and free rental equipment required for certification. The total package is valued at over $1000. Good luck to all and we look forward to seeing you above the water, below the water and online. Join Fantasy Surfer and the Body Glove Fantasy Surfer Skybox for a chance to compete and win these great prizes and make sure to head down to Lowers or watch teh webcast next week.

Body Glove Fantasy Surfer Sky Box Brazil Event Winner

Body Glove is stoked to announce the winner of the Brazil event (finally) for the Body Glove Fantasy Surfer Skybox. Dave Hyde from Pembroke Pines, FL scored a new Vapor 3/2 Fullsuit for winning the event that will keep him more than toasty on those frigid Florida mornings.

We caught up with Dave and he said, "just want to thank all the freaks that I chat with and met via the FantasySurfer mesage boards, some good people, GS for babysitting all of us and Rafael P from Fantasy Surfer for going the distance to find me, Thank you all. They asked if I wanted a Full suit or a springsuit cause I live in Miami for now, I say the fullsuit, I'm gonna need it on the Gold Coast! THANK YOU BODY GLOVE!!!!"

Join the Body Glove Fantasy Surfer Skybox and see if you can take out Dave at the next event in September at Lower Trestles. Body Glove is offering a new Vapor Fullsuit to every event winner and a big prize package to the overall winner at the end of the year.
