Open to all standards of sailor, The Boracay Funboard Cup is your ticket to
great windsurfing and an unbeatable action holiday. Five divisions ensure that
everyone can sail in a competitive atmosphere, no matter what their standard,
and slalom racing, speed trials and expression sessions give everyone a chance
of fame. Check out www.ocean-republic.com for more details.

Without a rest the Adecco AWT then moved straight to the magical
island of Boracay, a tiny island that nestles in the midst of the Philippine
Archipelago. On a map it looks innocuous, almost too small to deserve attention
– yet this "tiny island" is developing a reputation around the world
as an awesome windsurfing destination. A fringing reef protects a tropical lagoon
where on-shore winds blast palm trees into bows of submission. And every January
there is the Funboard Cup, when windsurfing joins with competition and they
both party. It is this mix that makes the Funboard Cup such a legend – days
of hard racing are followed by fun nights, wild parties and more
