Kiteboarden VS Windsurfen
The battle is on! Welke sport gaat het winnen voor de Olympische Zomer Spelen 2016 in Rio de Janeiro? Zowel de International Kiteboarding Association als de RS:X Class hebben een artikel gepubliseerd met 10 redenen waarom het kiteboarden of het windsurfen naar de Olympische Zomer Spelen 2016 moeten in Rio de Janeiro. Hoe gaat dit aflopen? Wie zal dit winnen, misschien beide? Of helemaal niemand?
The heat between kiteboarders and windsurfers is on. As the wind riders fight for the last sailing ticket into the 2016 Olympic Summer Games, in Rio de Janeiro, the International Kiteboarding Association and the RS:X Class have published an identical article on the "10 reasons why..." their sport should go Olympic.
Quite surreal and with only 13 hours of lag between both articles. Kiteboarders were the first to pull the trigger.
Kiteboarding believes it is the fastest growing water sport, it's spectator-friendly just like ski-cross, perfectly fits the IOC requirement that sailing should showcase its full diversity, it's popular in almost all countries of the world and turns the beach into a stadium.
Also, kiteboarders believe their sport reaches more than 600 million TV spectators, it has a strict box class rule, provides equal opportunities for competitors from all over the world, the kite kit only costs approximately €2500 and the kiteboarding industry is able and willing to support Olympic campaigners with equipment sponsorships.
Windsurfers believe windsurfing is the biggest sailing discipline on the planet, it attracts spectators and the media, offers the least expensive route into the Olympic Regatta for small and emerging sailing nations, it's safe and easy to learn and present a beach lifestyle class.
RS:X windsurfing also considers a large TV broadcast audience, "evolution not a revolution", a well established development pathway that is growing strongly, same wind speed coursed as other Olympic sailing events and medals won by windsurfing athletes from five continents.
How will this battle end? Will they win both, none or only one?
10 redenen voor kiteboarden:
With the submission deadline for the 2011 ISAF midyear meeting in St. Petersburg approaching fast, here is a short roundup why every proposed slate for the 10 sailing medals should include kiteboarding:
- Kiteboarding is still the fastest growing water sport
- Kiteboarding adds a crowd pleaser to the Olymic sailing competition as ski-cross and snowboard-cross did for the winter Olympics
- Kiteboarding is the most diverse piece of equipment to "traditional" sailing one can think of, perfectly fitting the IOC requirement that sailing should showcase its full diversity
- Kiteboarding is exercised in almost all countries of the world with access to sailable water, with national fleet sizes rapidly growing
- Kiteboarding turns the beach into a stadium for the shorts-and-shirts audience, establishing a completely new target group beside the coat-and-tie yachtsmen in the harbors. The main audience for kiteboarding is the 15-45 year old "generation facebook"
- Kiteboarding reaches the general interest media, with more than 600 million TV spectators and more than 400 hours boradcasted world wide from major events.
- The new class rules include a strict box rule, limiting equipment to series production boards and kites only which minimizes the influence of the equipment on the result of the racing
- Due to the vertical lift created by the kite, kiteboard races can be conducted for a wide range of body weights and dimension while still providing equal opportunities for competitors from all over the world
- A complete ready-to-sail kiteboarding kit costs approximately 2500 Euro - that is less than half the price of a ready-to-sail Laser - making kiteboarding one of the most affordable pieces of Olympic equipment and thus offering perfect opportunities especially for small and emerging nations to be able to participate in the Olympic sailing competition
- The kiteboarding industry is able and willing to support Olympic campaigners with equipment sponsorships, further reducing campaign costs. Some of the biggest sailing manufacturers like North, Neil Pryde and Startboard are behind the kiteboarding brands
With only 10 medal slots available for the 2016 Olympic Games some creative thinking is needed to get kiteboarding into the Games, and we invite everybody (especially MNAs willing to make submissions) to discuss the various options to achieve this goal and add fantastic opportunities to ISAFs portfolio for the Olympic sailing competiton.
