How one WCT event helped shape modern pro surfing – in more ways than one. 

On September 8th and 9th, 2011, the Quiksilver Pro New York surprised the surf world by scoring epic surf in Long Beach. One non-local wasn't surprised: Surfline's Sean Collins. He had been commissioned by Quiksilver the previous year to research the viability of good surf here. And after sorting through 15 years of swell history, bathymetry charts and models, Collins said "yes" and "here's the best dates." And he was right.
