Open Ocean Media and umi are happy to announce their partnership for the Wave Classic Invitational in Essaouira/Morocco. Initiated by Boujmaa Guilloul, Thomas Traversa and JB Caste, the event will take place from 10 to 20 May 2010 and will gather some of the world’s best wave riders. During the ten days waiting period, they will look for the best wave riding conditions around Essaouira’s coastline, to offer the most radical and explosive windsurfing show. umi will be there to capture the action and supply the windsurfing community with footage during and after the event.
Event organiser Steve Palier – Open Ocean Media: ‘I have always appreciated the special eye that umi has on our sport, and the quality of the editing and images. I feel really excited about working with this motivated team, we share the same point of view and I am pretty sure that our partnership will be a great support for the sport.’
umi: ‘This cooperation with umi, Open Ocean Media and the Wave Classic Invitational events is a perfect match. umi wants to show the incredible beauty of the sport and the amazing windsurfing locations around the globe. With the WCI series focussing on top performance windsurfing in a relaxed format, it perfectly suits the umi philosophy. Let’s just hope the conditions play ball as the rider list looks great!’
