We’re as disappointed as you were. The ASP Top 17 list is released. 2012 schedules released in November. Hopefully sponsorship support ramps up in the coming years for the girls as they are absolutely ripping.

When will the 2012 women’s tour list come out? 2011 was a real disappointment. World Tour over in summer. Starred events over in September. No Hawaii at all? At a time when you have a Hawaiian World Tour champ and a California overall points champ? Yah, the economy is bad but this year was an embarrasment.

im from new zealand so am obviously biast, but the reason i want sarah in because of her age, having a young gun think of how far she can take it, but on the other side of the coin, she will easily qualify in the future i would imagine, but still, she deserves it as much as any body else

Melanie Bartels needs to be back on the tour. She needs a sponser too so she can get to the events. She is the 1st women to do airs an in event. Even Kelly Slater said in a surf video she is the best woman surfer he has every seen.

I totally agree, Sarah Mason definately has the potential to be a title contender the way she surfed this year. Very unlucky to just miss out on the count back.

Congrats to all the girls though, the level of womans surfing took another massive step up this year. If they keep on this trajectory they’ll overtake the men in no time!

How come no Chelsea Hedges? She’s ranked 11 with all her placings either a 5th or 9th except 3 or 4 injuries. A former world champ and without a doubt one of the better surfers on tour. What gives? Has she retired?

I agree there should be more spots if people like Chelsea are dropping off the tour.

Love the amazing surfing from the young guns on tour but would love to see one of the older women get on a roll & pull an upset to win the title next yr.

I agree on Melanie Bartels. That girl is all heart & soul.

You would think if the points were even after 5 events you would go to 6 or 7 events and that the points that Sarah earned in the CT events would count for something ?!?!
