Snapple Master of the Ocean 2008
Cabarete will welcome the best exponents of surfing, kite surfing and windsurfing. The "Master of the Ocean 2008" held its sixth edition of February 27 to March 2 sponsored by Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages Corporation. The sixth edition of this competition implies full consolidation as one of the most important and pioneering competitions of its kind.
Athletes are prepared. The ends are binding. And in a few weeks will live once again, action on the waves. And this is a unique event that combines surfing, kite surfing and windsurfing. The sporting event, which this year comes thanks to sponsorship from Snapple and the Ministry of Tourism, meets annually to major figures, both national and international, who compete to be crowned "Master of the waves."
"The concept of the event position has always been at the Dominican Republic, for example, in Hawaii, with an unparalleled sports competition, a sort of trademark, which serves as support for local talent, free federation and visas" said Marcus Bohm, creator, organizer and main sponsor of the event. "After visiting many countries, Cabarete, north of the island, is still the best place to enjoy healthy waves and all that this city has to offer its visitors," he adds.
And it is. While participants made it their duty, performing acrobatic maneuvers on the waves, yet the audience as well enjoy the highest sporting level, can enjoy the fullness of Cabarete, rich cuisine and exciting nightlife. In short, this "feeling" special that many call "cabaret mood."
In addition, we have prepared a compendium of side events "that will complement the spirit that is transmitted in each of the sleeves a day," comments the water triathlon organizer Marcus Böhm.
More or less like it is about: After qualifying, athletes participating in different disciplines (surf, windsurf and kite) and its overall performance is evaluated together, who manages to end with the most points will be the big winner. And for a year will be known as "Master of the Ocean". The title comes with a cash prize of about $ 10.000 (plus thousand for better performance). Michael Guzman, Luciano Gonzalez, James Otis and Yan Marco Rivera, among others, have earned the title above.
But there are other awards: "Master surfing," "Master windsurfing" and "Master Kite". This year also reward new talent under the nickname of "Future Master", a new screed designed to encourage younger athletes.
Snapple, great support
One of the great novelties of this edition is the participation of the famous drink Snapple official sponsor of the event. The firm Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages Corporation has prepared a special international promotion taking as its starting point the "Master of the Ocean".
Local talent
Although athletes are expected from around the world, the locals are the main protagonists. "Snapple Master of the Ocean" is a competition Dominican created so that they will look to compete fully and without any restrictions, right on the beach. Yan Marco Rivera was crowned winner last year.
