WOMEN'S WINDSURFING
NEWS
Introduction
As you might have
heard, the women's representative of the IWA (International
Windsurfing Association), Mara van der Schaaf, has recently started
the global promotion of women's windsurfing. Together with a project
team she is working to generate media attention for windsurfing. She
is also trying to motivate women to compete in windsurf events. At
the moment Mara and the project team are working hard to realize the
following events. With this monthly newsletter we will be keeping
you in touch of all the latest
developments!
Training
camp
One of the events that
is being developed at the moment, is an international training camp
for female windsurfers. This training camp will be held the
11th and 12th of June 2010, on the Dutch
island Texel, prior to the World
Cup Slalom.
The purpose of this
camp is to motivate the women to compete in windsurf events, to
learn from each other's experiences, and develop the relevant skills
needed.
Poster
campaign
To boost women's
windsurfing and to teach the women to approach sponsors themselves,
Mara van der Schaaf, together with first-class photographer Chester
Bouwman, has set up a large scaled poster campaign. To be a part of
this poster campaign, the women will have to find sponsors to take
care of the costs. This campaign will produce quality pictures with
a sexy touch of athletic, beautiful and healthy women at their own
home spot.
To sign up for this
campaign, just send an e-mail to IWA's ladies representative Mara
van der Schaaf: women@internationalwindsurfing.com
