“In recent years, the Danish Water Skiing & Wakeboard Association has made a strategic investment in wakeboarding. Aarhus Watersports Complex is a result of this investment, and based on this has made a very large effort and built a solid club and a good environment around wakeboarding. We have generally experienced a steadily increasing interest in wakeboarding and water skiing over the past 10 years, and the interest in these sports is really great in Aarhus. Hosting a major international wakeboarding event an potentially draw even more people interested in this exciting sport, and we are naturally proud of that.”– Morten Froulund, Deputy Chairman, Danish Water Skiing & Wakeboard Association
