The preparation
for the RS: One Wind Surfing World Championship to be held in Boracay is almost
completed.
According to event
coordinator, international windsurfing champion, and Boracaynon Nenette Graf, although some things still
needs to be done, she is certain that the event which will be held on December
10-15, 2012 will be a success.
Graf is
confident that with the help of the local government of Malay and other
sponsors, the location will be safe for the wind surfing delegates from 15 other
countries.
The Philippine
Coast Guard and other authorities will be on the watch during the race,
especially that the event will be accommodating some span of the swimming area
in station 2.
Graf added that
most of the delegates are ages 16-21 and will be competing with a hope to get
to the Olympics.
Boracay has two representatives
namely Gloria Flores and Sonny Gelito.
The RS: One Wind
Surfing World Championship will be held in Boracay as the Philippine Sports
Commission accepted the challenge for the Philippines to be the venue and the island
was chosen to be the place for the event.
