World Qualification Series (2009)

World Qualification Series (WQS) is a surfing points competition for the honour of competing with the world's best surfers on the ASP World Tour. The WQS is sometimes referred to as 'The Grind' or simply the 'QS' by competitors.

The WQS was introduced in 1992 as a feeder competition to what was then called the WCT (World Championship Tour). The top scoring fifteen surfers on the WQS replaced the lowest scoring seventeen from the WCT on the following year's tour.
