SXM Windsurfing Kitesurfing Challenge
May 2006
The SXM challenge is a windsurf and kitesurf
competition which take place on Orient Beach. Organised since
2001, it has now become a traditional kitesurf and windsurf
event of the Caribbean. The level and the reputation of the
competition increase each year since its creation and we now
have Professional Racers coming from France, Argentina and
even Hawaii.
It is organised since the beginning by the
Club Nathalie Simon of Saint Martin.
For the 2006 edition, we plan to hold the SXM Challenge just
after the « Calema Midwinters », an international
windsurf competition occuring in Miami. This event gather
more than 200 international racers and, yet, is not offering
any price money. Thus we imagine take advantage of the proximity
of Miami to seduce the windsurfers into pushing their race
schedule to Saint Martin and compete for the 1 500 €
at stake. Thus, the Challenge will be integrated to the best
windsurfers’ schedule.
History et presentation of SXM Windsurfing
Kitesurfing Challenge
The event takes place for the fourth consecutive
year, and gathers the best of the Caribbean in kitesurf and
windsurf. This year, the 5 stars SXM challenge opens a category
beach catamaran.
Since its first edition, the « 5 Stars SXM Challenge
» kept improving its development, trying to seduce more
and more riders from the Caribbean to come and compete in
beautiful spot of Orient Bay.
The quality of the organisation and the level of the local
and Caribbean racers convinced the best riders worldwide to
come in Saint Martin from France, Argentina or Hawaii, like
Antoine ALBEAU, Thierry BELBEOC’H or André PHILIP.+
