PWA | Worldcup NL

PWA Worldcup in the Netherlands:
A historic moment, having the World Cup back in Holland. The last World Cup has been in Zandvoort back in 2000, 
so it has been a while. Not having been proparly healed, the organizers of the World Cup at PWA DAM7 asked me if I could 
fulfill the roll as a speaker, during the event for both PWA and EFPT competitions. Eventually that was a small part of my
Job at DAM7. It became clear, that I could help out a lot more for both PWA and the EFPT. I helped out with the media, 
the riders, the riders tent, registration, price giving, coordination, rescue-guards, for the crew etc To sum it up; 
A great learning experience working together with a great team. It was kind of weird to stand on the other side, 
instead of on the water, though I was glad that I could invest my knowledge and my skills to help out with this great 
World Cup event. So much positive energy :)

PWA DAM 7 Final movie
The video was created by www.continentseven.com who did an excellent job capturing all the footage during the entire WorldCup event of DAM 7. The whole team had to face sometimes gnarly weather condition, so thumbs up for the C7-crew.
