About the conditions of Portimão

Between sea and land, there’s a great many sports activities you can engage in or attend to in Portimão. A gentle climate, an exceptionally favourable geographic situation, a calm and warm sea and the enthusiasm and organisational skills of its people have earned the Council the participation in most of the greatest international competitions such as the Portugal Bicycle Tour, the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup, Beach Soccer ‘Mundialito’, International Jumping Competition, European Volleyball League, and many others. An Autodrome, homologated by the International Automobile Federation, is already prepared to receive the Formula 1 and the Moto Grand Prix.

But it’s in the sea that Portimão is really at home, and offers its best. That’s why you can find Portimão as part of most of the most important nautical competitions, such as Portimão Formula Windsurfing World Championships, F1 World Championship, the Kitesurf Kit Master World Tour 2007, the Med Cup Trophy, the Powerboat P1 World Championship, the Big Fishing International Championship, among others.

About the conditions of Portimão, in order to welcome the biggest event of the Class, José Guimarães - Chairman of the organizing club, comments: …I hope the conditions we were offered in the 2007 Windsurfing Grand Prix 2007 may be present as well during the 2008 World Championships. […] If so, we might as well be facing the best Class World Championship so far.

The Municipality of Portimão, ExpoArade, EM, the Pestana Grop - Hotels & Resorts and the NISSAN - are supporting the coming of this great event to Portugal. This is the poll of sponsors, traditionally committed in the set up of big events in this Region, being the main sponsors of the Portimão Formula Windsurfing World Championships 2008. Providing the technical backup, the FPV [Federação Portuguesa de Vela], acting as the main National Authority, will sanction this ISAF - Level 1 event.
