How many people are on the ASP WQS?
There are thousands of ASP WQS surfers the world over. Because the ASP WQS is an open-entry competitive circuit, anyone who pays the ASP membership fees (men’s $200 and women’s $130) and the competition fees ($175 for 1-4 Star Events and $200 for 5-6 Star Events) can compete in ASP WQS events. Although anyone can enter a WQS event, if there are too many entries, the higher-rated surfers will get preference in the make up of the seed list. ASP WQS five and six star rated events have restricted fields of 192 competitors with Super Series events only allotting the restricted field of 144. The remaining ASP WQS events are open entry with the highest rated surfers receiving preference.
