The 2010 ASP World Tour and ASP Women's World Tour schedules have been released, and there has been some shifting of event dates on both circuits in an effort to take advantage of surf conditions and to have, hopefully, fewer lay days.

2009 ASP World Tour champion Mick Fanning will see familiar venues at which to defend his title but new dates for some of them. The Billabong Pro Teahupoo, Tahiti, will be held late August to early September, rather than this year's May dates. The other notable schedule tweak is for the Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro, Brazil, which is now on the calendar for April rather than July.

On the women's circuit, the Commonweath Bank Beachley Classic, Australia, has been moved up to take place in April rather than late September to early October.

2010 will mark some major changes for professional surfing and the schedule reflects this, Brodie Carr, ASP International CEO, said. Were moving dates of certain venues to ensure that we get the best possible surf. Its going to be an incredible year for surfing.
