With more than 100 competitors from different wind regions it promises to be exciting. Of course we don’t want you to miss out on the action. That’s why we want to give as much footage and information as we can provide. Of course through our website.

We have photographers running around, a camera crew, video cameras attached to booms, GPS coordinates, results… whatever we can get our hands on!

There was quite a lot of press present from radio, to newspapers and a lot of photographers. There was a lot of flashing going on. At the table we had the main sponsor, the event organizer and the race coordinator. All with different takes on the event.

The main message of the day: we are ready for the event and we are especially ready to have a lot of fun and excitement!

We had a chance to explain more what we want to do with the event. Of course it is going to be bigger and better than last year with more international competitors. But we also want to take a step towards the fans. That is why we made this website as it is. During the event we will have an on-site press office where a team of surf-enthusiasts will provide real time news and information with interviews, videos, pictures and a whole lot more. This offers our audience (on Curacao or wherever in this world) a great inside view of the competition.

We want to commit to you, the audience, and that is also why we try to keep you up to date through our facebook fanpage and our twitter account. Also we offer the chance for the audience to provide cool pictures they took of the event or video or whatever is cool and interesting.

We hope you all will like it and we appreciate your ideas and comments! It’s a work in progress.

After the presentations Curacao’s best surfers together with two from Bonaire and Curacao gave away a spectacular low-wind freestyle demonstration in the dark!

Thanks to photographers Perry van der Wolde and Susan Gevers for providing the pictures. Watch the video by Onk here.
