Thursday 26th March 2020 Dear Friends,

 

We as the Cable Wakeboard Council have made the decision to cancel/delay(if possible) all the International Events planned within our discipline during April and May 2020. We will also not be allowing any Nation to register any other events for April and May at this time. This cancellation affects the following events planned (some had previously been notified) 1. 04/04/20 International 4 Star Coldwater Classic – Lakeside Paradise – Belgium 2. 19/04/20 International 1 Star SOS Cup – Marburg – Germany 3. 25/04/20 International Officials Seminar – House of Sports – Denmark 4. 16/05/20 International 2 Star Wakeclub Star – Enchede – Netherlands 5. 29/05/20 International 3 Star Golden Wake Tour ¼ – Dooplek – Slovenia This was a difficult decision to make, as we were hoping that there would be some relief from the Corona Virus, but unfortunately for most of us, social distancing, self-isolation, and border closures have become a way of life. Before taking the decision, we looked at advice from WHO & Other Sports Governing Bodies. We do not believe it would be possible to protect our riders, officials, organizers & spectators in the current climate, so this decision is one made with everyone’s safety at heart. We will be reviewing events planned for June during the 2nd half of April, and we would like to be able to give you all as much notice as possible regarding the events. We have written to all organizers asking for as much notice as possible. National Events can still be held if the National Federations give the all-clear to run the event. For anyone that did not see the previous announcement – The 2020 World Championships planned for Sept 2020, Have now been postponed to JANUARY 25-31st 2021. Our Friends at TESA and ESC Thai Wake Park, have tried incredibly hard to rearrange the competition with the hope that riders will be able to travel. We will be having further discussions on the point requirements for Entry once we understand the impact of Covid-19 on the 2020 Season. Please, everyone, stay safe, and we hope to see you all on the water very soon.

 

 

Kind Regards,
