Coinciding with the Caribbean event, Björn organizes for the second time the Dunkerbeck Speed Challenge in Caribbean waters, a test for all those nutters prepared to sail along on a board at cruising speed. But watch out, this challenge also comes with challenges…
The traditional race held in Sorobone will have a parallel version alongside it, in the form of an online sister event: the „Dunkerbeck Worldwide Virtual Speed Challenge“ organized as a competition with no barriers.
A challenge using GPS? How does it work?
The challenge sprang from a new idea. It is set up as a global contest, a challenge open to windsurfers anywhere around the world, who will be able to compete with each other from afar, measuring their times by GPS, simultaneously with the riders who are actually taking part in the race in Bonaire. There will be two diferents rankins, one for participants in Sorobon Beach and one for the rest of the world
But how is this possible?
Indeed, it is possible. Too right! If you cannot come along to Bonaire, then just sign up to the ‘virtual’ race, the “Dunkerbeck Worldwide Virtual Speed Challenge” open to competitors from around the world.
