Event Preview: World’s Top Racers Set to Battle it Out in Unchartered Waters as they Head to Israel for the First Event in Over 18 Months
After a long and arduous 18 months, there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel as racing of the highest quality finally makes its much-anticipated return to our screens. From the 21st-25th June, the world’s most talented racers will battle it out in a totally new location for the PWA, which boasts a rich history for both Christianity and Judaism, as the best men and women travel to Israel for the 2021 Tiberias PWA World Cup.
Tiberias is situated on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee - approximately a two-hour drive north from the capital of Jerusalem. Founded in 20 CE by Herod Antipas and named in honor of the Roman Emperor of the same name, Tiberias has great significance in both Judaism and Christianity and is steeped in history. In June of this year, however, it will play host to a modern generation attempting to walk on water, albeit with the help of the latest in hi-tech equipment! Throughout the summer months, regular thermal winds generate superb flat water conditions with breezes of 18-30 knots not uncommon, which should create the perfect playground for plenty of high octane slalom and foiling.
