But this year the event will get a further boost. The event has been selected to be part of the new FW European Cup. So competitors in the discipline racing can not only fight for the triumph at this prestigious event but will also win ranking points for the FW World ranking and the FW European Cup ranking.
But windsurfing is not the only highlight at this event. Sylt is famous for the incredible party scene in the summer. The island is crowded with thousands of tourists who enjoy the relaxed luxury life on Germanys island number one. The VOLVO SURF CUP 2012 presented by FLENS features a band festival with daily live concerts on the event stage with free entry for everybody.
