Hi-Winds Competition Coming to Aruba
The largest amateur windsurfing competition in the Caribbean will be held in Aruba June 30-July 5. The 24th annual event features windsurfing and kite boarding events in various categories and is open to both professionals and amateurs.
The event is more than a water sport contest. There will be music and meals and drinks on the beach throughout the 6 days. Aruba.com reports, “Highlights of the competition include a welcome dinner at Buster’s Garage on the first evening, as well as dinners hosted by Divi Hotel, de Suikertuin and Delifrance, Dunkin Donuts, and Casa Tua on the following nights. On Saturday and Sunday nights, parties featuring DJs and dance competitions will take place on the beach, and the awards ceremony and closing dinner will be held at Paseo Herencia/Taste of Belgium on Monday night.”
Initially, Hi-Winds was the first event for world champions and professional windsurfers. In 1997, it was changed to an amateur event, and became a multi-day celebration.
