1.             Introductory

 

The 3rd Cable Wakeboard World Championships will be held in Hungary, Dunaharaszti. We would like to continue the tradition started with the first World Championships in Duisburg, 2001. So many international competitions (ECWT) were held at the cableway Dunaharaszti and one of the best European Championships was held here in 2002.

We expect this year’s World Championship to be as successful as the previous competitions here. We will entertain our guests with varied programs and high quality organization. We are expecting the record number of participants from all over the world and our aim is to organize a world event which is about the riders in the first place.

We would like to entertain the foreign visitors as well. Various alternative entertainments are waiting for those who will visit Hungary not only because of the World Championships. We try to allure more and more visitors with beautiful sightseeing tours and different facilities available at the competition area.

 

Hopefully the Cable Wakeboard World Championship 2005 will be unforgettable for everyone.

 

We are waiting for everybody with much love!

Dear all, I'm certain this World Champs will be a blast for both riders and visitors. And I do hope it'll be a blast for all indeed, men and women. When I started riding seven years ago I was well aware I'm about to enter the sport commonly considered as "masculine". Over the years I see more and more girls involved and I'm very happy about it. Still, when it comes to big events, national feds are inclined to support teams of best riders - mainly men. Why? Well, the number of women involved is still not high enough to have their categories open at national comps, even at the ECWT we never had Junior Ladies category. Consequently, there's practically no solid criteria to include them in national teams for the World Champs. However, it doesn't mean they don't know the sport, it's just that statistics still don't work in our favor…

My point is – actually, I have two points: 1. Girls, women, ladies, babes, chicks, pack your board bags, get over here and give the best you can to win a World title!  2. Feds, please support them, they're smaller and their performance is not as spectacular as men's, but if they try as much as I do, they try as hard as they can!

 

Hopefully the Cable Wakeboard World Championship 2005 will be unforgettable really for everyone.
