Quotes:

“Aarhus is known around the world as an event city of international class, among other things from a number of successful water sports events. I am pleased that the collaboration with Sport Event Denmark and the Danish Water Skiing & Wakeboard Association means that Aarhus is once again hosting an exciting international event with a high sporting level, which will definitely impress and delight audiences of all ages.”
– Rabih Azad-Ahmad, Mayor of Sport, Culture and Citizen Services, City of Aarhus

“Wakeboarding is one of the sports that is working on joining the Olympic program just like other street sports. In Sport Event Denmark we also look at the possible Olympic sports of the future with great interest, and therefore we look forward in collaboration with Aarhus and the Danish Water Ski & Wakeboard Association to organising a World Cup event in wakeboarding this summer.”
– Lars Lundov, director, Sport Event Denmark

Morten Froulund“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
