The 2011 PWA World Tour calendar has been released. This year, there are 14 pro windsurfing events and three new destinations: Mui Ne (Vietnam), Aruba (Caribbean) and El Medano (Tenerife). Race, wave and freestyle are the official disciplines. The action starts with an all-new event in Mui Ne, Vietnam, which will see the PWA’s men’s and women’s freestyle and slalom fleets battling it out for a share of the event’s €100,000 prize purse on the palm fringed beaches of the South China Sea. Adding to the tally of new destinations, the World Tour will also pay a visit to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean for the first time since 2005. Taking the plunge will be the freestyle and slalom fleets, who’ll christen Aruba’s waters in a week long Grand Slam extravaganza. The final new installment for 2011 is a stop on the wave drenched stores of El Medano in southern Tenerife. Like its neighboring islands of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, Tenerife enjoys the consistent north east trade winds which blow for the duration of the northern hemisphere’s summer. Couple this with a reliable supply of Atlantic swell, and you have the makings of a classic show down for the PWA’s wave fleet. Standing alongside these new additions there’s the eclectic selection of tried and tested locations, which include the grueling European leg of the World Tour and slalom action in Ulsan, South Korea. 2011 PWA World Tour calendar: 2011 MUI NE, VIETNAM 2011 PODERSDORF AUSTRIA 2011 ULSAN WORLD CUP KOREA 2011 COSTA BRAVA SPAIN 2011 BONAIRE 2011 ARUBA 2011 EL MEDANO TENERIFE 2011 POZO GRAN CANARIA 2011 COSTA TEGUISE LANZAROTE 2011 SOTAVENTO FUERTEVENTURA 2011 PEGASUS AIRLINES PWA WORLD CUP, ALACATI, TURKEY 2011 KLITMØLLER DENMARK 2011 SYLT, GERMANY 2011 SAL, CABO VERDE
