HUNTINGTON BEACH, California/USA (Tuesday, November 15, 2011) – ASP International has released its 2012 World Tour schedule today, outlining the respective ASP World Title, ASP World Junior, ASP World Longboard, ASP Masters, ASP Prime and ASP Star tours for the year ahead:

2012 ASP World Title Series:

Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast – Australia (February 25 – March 7, 2012)

Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach – Australia (April 3 – 14, 2012)

Billabong Rio Pro – Brazil (May 9 – 20, 2012)

Volcom Pro Fiji – Fiji (June 3 – 16, 2012)

Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay – South Africa (July 11 – 22, 2012)

Billabong Pro Teahupoo – Tahiti (August 16 – 27, 2012)

Rip Curl Pro Portugal – Portugal (October 7 – 17, 2012)

Billabong Pipe Masters – Hawaii (December 8 – 20, 2012)

Notably absent from the 2012 ASP World Title Series schedule is the Rip Curl Pro Search, but the event will return in 2013.

“We are taking a year off from the front line of running the event and putting a solid 18 months into the planning of the 2013 Rip Curl Pro Search. To take the Search to the next level is always the goal. We do that every year, but following San Francisco and the twist it delivered to the surfing world we feel we need more time and care to really blow minds,” said Rip Curl’s Neil Ridgway. “Throughout the history of the Rip Curl Pro Search we have had everything from ASP world titles to underworld rip offs, terrorist alerts to perfect tubes, great personal and professional difficulty and epic celebration parties. This event more than any other combines the discipline of professional sport with the traveling lifestyle and freedom surfers love. It needs to be nurtured so it grows better than ever. A year tending to it in planning is the right way to develop it.”

The 2012 ASP Women’s World Title Series sees the return of the core seven events from this season, and the ASP will be diligently working on adding events before the start of the season in February.
