Master of the Ocean

A few weeks back we had a pretty big event here in Cabarete called The Master of the Ocean. I believe I also alluded to this in a prior post or two as this was directly after the flea market/carnival we put on and contributed to my atypical and busy schedule, which resulted in my lack of posting. Anyhow, the Master of the Ocean is an annual water sports competition that has events in surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. There is a champion crowned in each discipline, as well as an overall champion who performs the best in all three events - the Master of the Ocean.

What does this have to do with me you might ask? Well some of us volunteered to help plan the event and do various logistical things. My task was to go through the website and make various updates and corrections. Other people handled things having to do with publicity. During the actual event, some of us helped with sign ups etc., some went to the events and sort of created a DREAM presence to publicize our organization, and others helped with tabulating the results. I spent a few days being a DREAM rep at the events and got to take in some amazing kite surfing and wind surfing. All in all, not a bad day´s work.

Here´s a few photos from the event. It was tough to get any good action shots so I´m not going to post many of them because they pretty much suck.
