The Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) has announced the acquisition of the global Big Wave World Tour (BWWT), with arrangements for support in 2013 and formal sanctioning commencing in 2014. Currently servicing six international big wave events in Pichilemu, Punta Hermosa, Lincoln City, Half Moon Bay, Baja California and Punta Galea, the Big Wave World Tour was founded by Gary Linden and pits the world’s best big wave surfers against the elements in some of the most intense venues on the planet. “We are very pleased to have finalized the deal between the ASP and the Big Wave World Tour. The competitors on the BWWT are some of the fiercest and most-respected watermen on the planet and we are eager about the opportunity to take their tour to the next level”, says Paul Speaker, ASP CEO.
