The APP World Tour team is not slowing down and has released official 2020 schedule with new stops added to the pipeline. After a spectacular 2019 season that saw dramatic action across every event on Tour, the APP is continuing its legacy in Osaka, San Francisco and Paris, while adding a new World Tour Opener on the northwest coast of France (Pornichet), and delivering dedicated downwind and dedicated surf sprint events to complete the 2020 line up.

The City Paddle Festivals concept will be continued in 2020 with the APP World Tour’s flagship events in Osaka and Paris, continuing on the legacy of weekend festivals to celebrate the sport, mass participation and pro spectacle in major global Cities. Also remaining a fixture on Tour is Red Bull Heavy Water in San Francisco, providing the wildcard, extreme event on Tour and what has now been well established as the World’s Toughest Race.

Also new for 2020 will be the downwind stop on Tour, something that the APP World Tour organisers felt was missing in 2019, and will be celebrated this coming year with an all new stop in North America. With exact date and location to be finalized over the coming month, the APP has identified the window and are working with several host venues to finalize before officially announcing early in the New Year.
The final element to be added is the Gran Canaria Surf Sprints: to be held in conjunction with the amazing World Championship Tour Surfing Final in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the Surf Sprints will complete the ‘all-terrain’ approach the APP is committed to deliver in 2020 to ensure the most well rounded Champions are crowned at the end of the season in Paris.
