Preparations for the Longboard World Championships Tour, to be hosted by the Surfing Association Papua New Guinea (SAPNG) in March 2017, are well underway.
The 2017 inaugural PNG-World Surf League Men’s and Women’s Longboard World Championships Tour will take place at Tupira Surf Resort in Madang Province, PNG.
SAPNG president Andrew Abel confirmed that the event has been moved from January to March 18-25 with a total of 11 countries participating.
This will see 36 male and 18 female of the world’s best longboarders from Australia, Hawaii, Peru, South Africa, France, Great Britain, United States, Brazil, Japan, Reunion Island and PNG take part.
It will be televised to 120 million viewers worldwide and will also be seen on EMTV and Kundu TV.
It will also include initiatives on empowering women with equal rights and opportunities.
Abel said earlier this year that the event will also address violence against women with participation from world champion female surfers who strongly advocate support for SAPNG initiatives.
“This event will deliver massive global promotion and will be great for the tourism marketing perspective for SAPNG as we move towards greater focus on product development in growing our tourism sector,” said Abel.
