MINI brings a fresh blast to the season’s opener.
Title partnership with Kitesurf Tour Europe to launch in May 2012 at Podersdorf on
Lake Neusiedl, Austria.
Hamburg/ Munich. MINI is backing this year’s Kitesurf Tour Europe as a title partner, and as such
is the world’s first carmaker to sponsor kitesurfing at an European level. The MINI Kitesurf Tour
Europe 2012 is the official European Championship for kitesurfing and sifts out the top European
riders in the freestyle and racing disciplines. With this partnership, MINI is committing to one of the
fastest-growing sports in Europe. The five-part competition series starts in Podersdorf on Austria’s
Lake Neusiedl from 3 to 6 May 2012.
“We are delighted with this partnership,” says Sebastian Beuchel, BMW / MINI Brand Management,
Sales Region Europe. “Kitesurfers and MINI both stand for an individual and passionate approach to
life that is expressed through the creativity of the kitesurfing turns and the design of the cars.”
Higher, faster, further through five stages across the whole of Europe.
The MINI Kitesurf Tour Europe 2012 will be held at five European surfing spots. The inaugural event
will take place in the Austrian Burgenland, where Europe’s best kitesurfers will pit their skills against
one another in Podersdorf on Lake Neusiedl from 3 to 6 May. Then, from 26 June to 1 July, they
will gather on the North Sea island of Sylt, and from 16 to 19 August the freestylers and racers will
converge on Brouwersdam in the Netherlands. Castelldefels near Barcelona will be the fourth venue
from 20 to 23 September, with the final taking place from 27 to 30 September in the French water
sports paradise of La Baule. It isn’t just the broad reach of its venues across the European continent
