Kone One chosen for 2013 Bermuda Island Games
The organizers of the 15th International Island Games have chosen Kone One as the official board for the windsurfing competitions. The games will be held at Bermuda, 13th – 19th July 2013.
“The board chosen will enable us to hold races in any conditions, including no wind days (SUP style). Being a no pumping class also played in the favor of the Kona One”, Neil Burnie, from the organizing committee, comments.
Since the first Island Games held in 1985 at Isle of Man they have grown into a major event hosted every second year by one of the islands associated, including islands like Cayman, Falklands and Åland. In 2011 more than 2 300 athletes from 24 islands around the globe competed at Isle of Man in 15 sports such as sailing, swimming, triathlon and football.
“Being chosen for the 2013 Bermuda Island Games is a great honor and a new step in the international recognition of the Kona One”, Joachim Larsson, CEO of Kona Windsurfing, comments. “The spirit of the games and the Kona spirit is further a perfect match”, he continues.
The intention is to hold a series of different types of races, to include mass fleet long distance races, and a series of short ”heat” races. The short races may also feature upwind / downwind racing and it is hoped that the boardsailing event will take place around a floating ”Island” where start and finish lines will be immediately adjacent to the spectators.
