| Description: |
The World Games 2009 Kaohsiung feature Barefoot, Wakeboard and Tournament Water Ski events on the emblematic Lotus Pond. Gathering the international elite in nearly all of the sport’s different disciplines is not that common an occurrence, even though they share common ground: the water. Equipment aside, there are similarities between the tournament (water ski) and the barefoot competitions: both include slalom, tricks and jumps. But wakeboarding, the most recent addition, has developed in a different direction: equipment, bindings and moves are quite similar to those in half-pipe snowboarding. With marks given for expression and intensity, the judges are looking for big air performances here too! |
