The Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour is the main event in the world of professional surfing. It is a series of 12 events that take place all over the globe, including Australia, Mexico, Africa, Fiji, Tahiti, France, Spain, Brazil, Hawaii, and the United States. The tour is held annually between the months of February and December. The scoring throughout the tour is based on a point system, and the surfer with the most points after the final event, the Rip Curl Pipeline Masters, in Oahu, Hawaii, is deemed the winner.
