Overview The Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) is the governing body of professional surfing, taking over for the International Professional Surfers organization, which ran things from 1976 to 1982. ASP needed to meet four key requirements to support its brand and objectives, improve digital-media distribution, guarantee reliable video, reduce production costs and grow the business. ASP deployed Akamai Stream OS for their solution By leveraging the Internet as the distribution mechanism and Stream OS as the rich-media management solution, with just six crew members they can broadcast 30 contests from some of the most remote locations in the world and deliver the surfing experience to passionate fans around the world - from Brazil and Tahiti to Japan and Siberia.
