Now in its seventh year, Master of the Ocean 2009 is set and ready to “rip”. Organizers of the international wind, kite and surf competition announced that this year’s Master of the Ocean would be held from 24 February to 1 March in Cabarete, the DR’s water-sports capital. Eighty competitors from around the world will be taking part in the competition. These include former Dominican champions Michael Guzman, James Otis, Luciano Gonzalez, Yan Marco Rivera and Manuel Rondon. The event will also feature 20 DJs who will keep the rhythm moving with the “IndepenDance Ocean Sound Festival.” Competitors will take a shot at three disciplines – wind, kite and surfing – with the first prize going to the competitor who accumulates the highest points total in each category.
