After its first successful stop-over in Pattaya, the NeilPryde Racing Series will go to the heart of Istanbul together with the prestigious Extreme Sailing SeriesTM on the 9th and 10th June.[more]
The windsurfers will be racing on the 9th and 10th June in 2012 off the shores of Ahirkapi, with the fantastic backdrop view over the Blue Mosque and Sainte-Sophie in the most central part of the old town of Istanbul. The race will further be illuminated by special LED-rigged sails during Saturday’s night race.
Top Turkish athletes like Enes Ylimazer (PWA Youth World Champion) and Ertugrul Icingir (Turkish RS:X windsurfing Olympic representative) will compete on the RS:One along with other local windsurfers. The action will take place at the Extreme Sailing Series™ Race Village so the public can view all the racing close to shore. The winners of each division will share the US$3000 prize money.
