Just in time the new teaser for this Championships is online at www.cablewakeboard.net. So all riders are invited to come to this wonderful new cableway in Turkey and to promote the sport in this country. Turkey is one of the fastest growing markets in Cable Wakeboarding. In the coming years we will have few more cableways here.

After the World Championships - held in Anapa last weekend - it is the second biggest IWSF Event this year. Great Britain, Germany, Netherlands, Hungary, Israel and France will be the biggest teams during that competition. The Organizers expect more than 19 nations with over 90 riders. A minimum 4 obstacles will be in the water. An 18m long funbox, a 12m long table and 2 kickers. There are also plans to have a transition kicker at Bursa cablepark.

The media interest for this event is fantastic. Five cameras are booked for the IP TV and to produce the LIVE STREAM. So it will be sure that we will see fantastic live pictures of this event. Freecaster TV and some other channels will present this Championships live.

Presenter of the 10th Cablewakeboard European Championships is once again the Netherlands Fashion Label PROTEST. Their team Riders Maxime Sapulette (NL) and Mike Ketellapper (NL) have just won the Open World titles during the Worlds last weekend in Russia.

All insiders of the sport expect the most spectacular European Championships ever. All the top athletes from their nations will compete in Bursa and so this season will close in Europe with a real highlight.
