The Macy's California Trifecta Surf Series is a major step towards the resurgence of American mainland competitive surfing. With a dynamic format that unites the 4-star WQS Body Glove Surfbout presented by Adio , the 2-star WQS OP Newport Classic , and the 4-star WQS O'Neill Cold Water Classic presented by Jeep into a three-stop mini-tour, the Macy's California Trifecta Surf Series offers major incentives for competitors to perform and have a presence at each event. A $33,333 prize purse is on the line for any competitor who can place 1 st in the three contests, and, in the event that no surfer can achieve such a task, a points system has been created to reward the overall point's leader with $5000. This is just the beginning! Look for a bigger and better prize purse in 2006 and 2007 as domestic surfing continues to grow.

This year, the inaugural season of the Macy's California Trifecta Surf Series has already seen two legendary contests go into the books. Blessed with pumping swell at the Body Glove Surfbout and the OP Newport Classic , the Trifecta has enjoyed some of the most riveting mainland competitive surfing in recent memory. But with a different champion emerging at each event, the $33,000 prize purse is no longer in play for the final stop. David Weare and Nathaniel Curran have knocked each other out of the running with their respective wins, but with at least 1,500 Trifecta Points under their belts, the two are still strongly in the hunt for the $5,000 prize. With Santa Cruz approaching, and less than 800 points separating all the competitors in the Trifecta's Top-Te n , the O'Neill Cold Water Classic presented by Jeep should be a nail biter of a finish as over 200 WQS and WCT ranked surfers battle it out for this year's Trifecta Points Title .
