Worldcup Watersports Fuerteventura

With the wind in their sails. The world’s 350 top windsurfers and kiteboarders are coming to Fuerteventura for the 23rd Windsurfing & Kiteboarding World Cup.

When Fuerteventura calls, they all come. The island, situated in the Canaries, has got the wind the windsurfers and kiteboarders need, plus there’s the bonus of white sandy beaches, blue skies and summer-like temperatures.René Egli, initiator and organiser of the World Cup says, “I’m very pleased that, with the Windsurfing & Kiteboarding World Cup, we are able to offer not just an annual sporting highlight, but also an event of increasing interest to spectators and the media. The interest in windsurfing and kiteboarding as a spectacular, clean sport, in tune with nature, is greater every year.”And from 18th July to 2nd August 2008 on Fuerteventura, windsurfers and kiteboarders will try to measure up in 5 different events with world championship status. As ever on Fuerteventura, the spectators are right up close to the action. They can make direct contact with the riders. There is also plenty to keep body and soul together and a wide-ranging program of related events. Spectators can chill on the beach with drinks and music in a 1,000 m² lounge area whilst watching the ongoing competitions. In the evenings, thousands of tourists, locals and, for the prize-giving ceremonies, riders will mingle at the legendary World Cup parties in the 2,000 m² party marquee.
