FOSTER’S ASSOCIATION OF SURFING PROFESSIONALS (ASP) WORLD TOUR <\/p>\n
ASP WOMEN\u0094S WORLD TOUR<\/p>\n
The world\u0092s best surfers in the world\u0092s best waves LIVE on www.aspworldtour.com<\/p>\n
COOLANGATTA, AUSTRALIA: (January 11, 2007) \u0096 The Association Of Surfing Professionals International (ASP) has confirmed the locations and dates for its premium world championship deciding tours \u0096 the Foster\u0092s ASP World Tour and the ASP Women\u0092s World Tour \u0096 and are proud that in 2007 the world\u0092s best surfers will again be competing in the world\u0092s best waves.Once again spectators will be privy to watching the sport\u0092s ultimate athletes as they travel to only the most exotic surf destinations on the planet with both premium tours serving up similar event lineups to 2006 with only the Fijian events in doubt due to political instability in the region. <\/p>\n
\u0093It looks like it\u0092s going to be another killer year for pro surfing,\u0094 said ASP International CEO Brodie Carr. \u0093It\u0092s great to see that once again we are able to have such esteemed events slotted in on the 2007 calendar and I\u0092m sure that one and all will be blown away by watching our athletes tackle the best waves this planet can offer.\u0094 <\/p>\n
Regarding the situation in Fiji, Carr indicated that ASP, Roxy (women\u0092s) and Globe (men\u0092s) are on standby and all parties are monitoring the political situation daily before committing to hosting their events on the island of Tavarua. <\/p>\n
\u0093We will continue to monitor the political situation in Fiji daily,\u0094 said Carr. \u0093At present insurance issues due to the unrest in late 2006 have forced us into the unlikely position of having the Roxy Pro Fiji and Globe Pro on standby, but a confirmation of the outcomes of both will be forthcoming soon.\u0094 <\/p>\n
The 2007 cast for both tours has also been confirmed with many of both tours\u0092 old guard being replaced by a swag of exciting up and coming youngsters. <\/p>\n
