    The Boost Mobile Pro presented by Hurley is the seventh leg of the
    11-round Foster's Men's World Tour and the only World Championship
    Tour (WCT) event on the U.S. mainland. The WCT decides the annual
    World surfing champion. Following WCT events in the best wave
    locations throughout the world, the fourth annual Boost Mobile Pro of
    Surf is the only opportunity for spectators to see the World's top 45
    pro surfers, plus three wildcard contestants compete on the U.S.
    mainland for $280,000 in prize money.
    The world's best surfers travel the globe competing at 11 premier
    wave locations, to determine the World Champion. The 2006 Foster's
    Men's World Tour began in Australia at the Gold Coast and Bells Beach,
    moved onto treacherous Teahupo'o in Tahiti, Tavarua in Fiji, and
    Mexico. The Billabong Pro at Jeffrey's Bay in South Africa is held
    just prior to the tour coming to Trestles, California. After the Boost
    Mobile Pro, the tour will then travel to France, Spain, Brazil and
    finish at the Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii.
