International Professional Surfers (IPS), original world governing body in professional surfing spreadheaded by Hawaïan surfers, develops the first international ranking system to create a global tour. In the mid-1990s, Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP and evolution of IPS) shifted to "Dream Tour" concept, encouraging event organizers to transition their venues from well-populated, metropolitan areas to remote locations with high-quality surf.
The Dream Tour birthed the company philosophy of "World's best surfers, world's best waves", which remains the organization's guiding principle to this day. 2015 saw the ASP officially becoming the World Surf League (WSL), overseeing the key product areas of the elite men's and women's World Championship Tours, the Qualifying Series (QS), the Big Wave Tour, the Big Wave Awars, the World Longboard Championships and the World Junior.
