PRESS RELEASE

Wakeboard center Cable Krk – 5 to 11 June 2011

Krk Handi Tricks 2011

International wakeboard school & competition for disabled

In bay of Punat, on the island Krk, Croatia, from Monday 5 June till Saturday 11 June 2011 Wakeboard Center Cable Krk will host Krk Handi Tricks- Wakeboarding School for disabled.

Krk Handi Tricks is a traditional week of great fun and instructive lessons, not only to our fellow athletes with disabilities but also for all of us, who take everyday life for granted.

The training involves competitors from European countries, mainly paraplegic athletes, who practice wakeboarding sitting on a specially adapted wakeboard. Newcomers train together with the advanced riders and during this week instructors are available to all every day from 10 till 21 hours.

The objective is to present water skiing and wakeboarding to the Croatian public as an excellent summer recreation for disabled. Participation for all athletes is completely free of charge. Anyone interested to join can contact us at contact@wakeboarder.hr or +385 91 26273 02.

This unique and traditional event is held every year beginning June since 2004 and it has been identified as a one that raises the quality of life for disabled and hence supported by main sponsors – City Krk and company “Svijet mora” that runs Wakeboard Center Cable Krk.

Support also came from the local community and the International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation whose president of the Disabled Council, Philippe Turchet from France, participates every year as an instructor and competitor.

Krk Handi week will be concluded on Saturday, 11 June 2011, with a wakeboard competition, starting at 11 am. Competition is held in freeride format by IWWF CWWC rules.

Hereby, Wakeboard club Krk and Wakeboard Center Cable Krk invite you to come and support Saturday’s event, entry is free of charge (and an excellent after party guaranteed:)
