The dates for next year surfing circus are out. The biggest change is the absence of the Rip Curl Search Event, which is taking a year long break and will be back in 2013 (at least people at RC say so) and a return to Fiji with Volcom Pro Fiji. Another change came later in the game. First QS Pro New York was dropped from the schedule. For a while it seemed there will only be 10 events in 2012. But then the O’Neill Coldwater Classic Santa Cruz was added to the schedule and we again have 11 events – same as in 2011. This is the revised schedule:
