Windsurf World Festival 1999

SUCCESS NUMBER 14
As night fell each evening, the massive crowds of people pouring into Mondello turned it from a small fishing town into a real holiday village; for a week of sea, sun, sport and fun, this year the public played a really important part.

An impressive sporting event, which was organized by ‘Albaria’ of Palermo, and sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive, Slam, Radio Dimensione Suono, the Sicilian Region, the City Council and the Palermo Province.

9_031stab.jpg (18651 byte)This year the effective organization of the Sicilian society was supported by the ‘Colgate-Palmolive’ group which, while promoting the event, also advertised its new ‘Palmolive shower’ product with impressive sales results. This year 350 competitors from all over the world took part in windsurf regattas (Nations Cup and the Sicily Grand Prix) and Hobie Cat 16 and 18 regattas for the Italian Catamaran Class A Championship; for the Italian Laser Cup, the Yacht Racing ‘Sprint’ regatta, the Beach Volley ‘Sicily Cup’ and the Non-Stop-24-Hours in Canoe. This was also an event which again managed to turn the quiet fishing town of Mondello, only 7km from Palermo, into a unique holiday village, where you could find all the fun, entertainment and shows you wanted at almost any time of the day or night. The partying wasn’t only happening at the stands and stalls set up along the seafront pedestrian area where tons of people met up for drinks and to watch the races and sporting events; it was also happening on the beach. In fact there was a massive stage set up actually on the beach. Every night for a week there were singers, musicians and dancers in Mondello to celebrate the 14th birthday of the Festival and who, as night fell, attracted the massive crowds of people who filled the whole place. And at the end a wonderful closing ceremony with the spectacular night-time regatta followed by a firework display which saw more than 100,000 people flock to Mondello. So, with Albaria’s tried and tested formula this 14th edition was again, ‘More sport...More music...More partying...!!!
Can you imagine that with all this going on, there were people on holiday somewhere else...?!!
