Press Release Summary: Day One of the Movistar Kiteboarding World Cup 2007 went
under a wind delay.


Press Release Body: Extreme kiteboarding action goes to a remote but magnificent
location in Playa de Matanzas in Chile. The town of Matanzas is a small village in
the west coast of central Chile and is fast becoming famous as a venue for surfing
and other water sports enthusiasts. This year, Matanzas will play witness to the
much anticipated grand finale of the 2007 PKRA World Tour, with the world champion
title still up for grabs and is being contested by the current top two kiteboarders
of the PKRA. A total of 30 men and 4 women kiteboarders, representing 20
nationalities registered for the event which will run until the 6th of October,
2007.

Although both the competitors and everyone at the venue were very much excited to
see action, day one of the Chilean round dubbed as the Movistar Kiteboarding World
Cup 2007 went into an immediate postponement as the wind was a no show for the whole
day. Overcast skies dominated much of the first day which added to the chilling
weather condition that peaked at 9.8° Celsius.

The mandatory skippers meeting started at exactly 12:30 pm and then the Freestyle
ladder drawing followed. After about half an hour, there was a special skippers
meeting for the Wave competitors where they discussed the format, judging and rules
for the event. Lunch was served afterwards under the competition tent. With no hopes
of wind, the competition was called off for the day at around 16:00h.

Tomorrow's weather outlook seems promising, with the wave swell forecast providing
some good conditions during the early part of the week. Skippers meeting is
scheduled at 12:00pm with first possible start of 13:00h. Kicking off the start of
the competition will be the Freestyle event for the men's division followed by the
women's freestyle competition.
