 WORLD CUP Medal of Honor
To underline the importance of the event, legendary World Cup initiator and organizer René Egli has just been awarded the Medal of Honor by the government of Fuerteventura to thank him for the consecutive build up of the windsurfing & kiteboarding infrastructure on the island of Fuerteventura.
The medal was awarded as well for bringing the World Cup to the island year after year. In 2006 the Fuerteventura World Cup was broadcasted worldwide and achieved more than 590 Million TV spectators. René Egli: “I am very happy that as a result of our continuous hard work plus the dedication and support from the Town Hall of Pájara and the government of Fuerteventura as well as of the Canary Islands, the Windsurfing and Kiteboarding World Cup has grown beyond all belief, and the future for it looks very bright!”
