Let the Games Begin

posted by Sacha Specker on 11th October 2008

Today was the official start of the 2008 ISA World Surfing Games in
Costa de Caparica, Portugal.

The ceremony the started with the traditional march-pass where all
teams paraded in front of the local people of Costa de Caparica. This
was followed by the welcoming speech of ISA President, Fernando
Aguerre. The proceedings came to a close with the much anticipated
pouring of the sands, where each team pours a jar of sand from their
home breaks into a display container, creating the amalgamated layers
and colours of the worlds beaches.

The running of heats will start on Sunday the 12th of October and can
be followed live on www.isasurf.org

Big thanks to the South African National LOTTO and Surf South Africa.
