NEW HIGH FOR WORLD INDOOR WINDSURFING CHAMPIONSHIPS

www.High.tv, the world’s first extreme and adventure sports channel on the internet, is to broadcast the Professional Windsurfers Association (PWA) World Indoor Championships.

It will be broadcast live from the Schroders London Boat Show next weekend at ExCel in London’s Docklands.

The exclusive broadcast will take place over the final weekend of the show when the event will be at its most exciting with male and female pro sailors from around the globe competing in freestyle, slalom and the jump discipline.

Nik Baker, five-times World Indoor Champion and last year’s overall UK winner said: “High.tv is a new and sophisticated medium that not only raises the profile of windsurfing but enables fans and enthusiasts who cannot make it to the boat show to see us in action.”

Mike Gribbin, head of programming for High.tv, said: “This is another great opportunity to showcase the huge potential of live internet broadcasting.”

The High.tv broadcast will be available to anyone with a broadband connection from anywhere in the world as well as through many of the internet service providers’ broadband sport sections.
