The Lexus Trestles Pro returns the World Surf League Championship Tour title race to Lower Trestles in San Clemente, California, and it arrives as Stop No. 9 on the tour. The event brings the Championship Tour back to Lower Trestles as part of the 2026 title race. Carissa Moore and Leonardo Fioravanti are among the top contenders. The stop also carries a regional angle. Griffin Colapinto, Crosby Colapinto, Sawyer Lindblad, Taj Lindblad, Eden Walla and Cole Houshmand are expected to compete, giving the event a Southern California presence.
Southern California surfers
The Southern California group gives the Lexus Trestles Pro a regional angle within the broader Championship Tour title race. Its presence keeps a local storyline alongside the event’s wider title-race focus at Lower Trestles. The event brings those two elements together at the same break.
WSL programming
Eden Walla enters the draw after Isabella Nichols withdrew injured, and Walla steps in as the highest-ranked North America Challenger Series surfer. That change gives the event another layer, because it adds a replacement with a clear ranking path into the field. The rest of the event buildout extends beyond competition. Before the event opens, the site will host trials, a Fantasy Training Session, Rising Tides programming and a WSL One Ocean activation. Those pieces turn the stop into a broader surf-focused week around Lower Trestles, with activities tied to the event before the main competition gets underway. Fans who follow from home can also track the action live. WorldSurfLeague.com and the WSL app will carry the broadcast, giving the Lexus Trestles Pro a direct live platform as the title race moves through San Clemente.
