Posted On:  23/01/2012 11:42:21

The Race Committee delivered a perfect first day at the 2012 Asian Windsurfing Championships by completing the maximum 3 races permitted by the championship rules.

Two races, back to back, were followed by a third and final race late in the afternoon; with steady winds averaging from 9 to 11 knots during the day. Earlier in the day the opening ceremony was held at the beach in the presence of officials from Pattaya City Hall, and representatives from the sponsors and of the Windsurfing Association of Thailand (WATH). The mayor of Pattaya, who is also the President of WATH, Mr Itthipol Kunplome gave the welcoming address to over 100 competitors and coaches. 12 Asian countries are represented with competitors - China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and the hosts, Thailand.
