Sponsors Confirmed for Surfing Hainan Open
Source, iconx and Quiksilver sign on as sponsors of the 2nd Annual Surfing Hainan Open
Sanya, Hainan Island, August 27th, 2009 - The 2nd Annual Surfing Hainan Open, China’s premiere surf contest which will take place along Hainan’s Riyuewan Beach on November 6-8th, 2009, has confirmed its supporting sponsors. Surfing Hainan, organizer of the Surfing Hainan Open and China’s only surf tour and coaching company, feels the support by such well respected brands is telling of the development of surfing in China and the growth of the event, in only its second year.
This year’s event will be held along Hainan’s Riyuewan beach, which with a gorgeous headland, long stretch of beach, and a variety of breaks, Riyuewan is quickly becoming one of the most popular surfing beaches in Hainan. Its easy access from Hainan’s Eastern Expressway, as well as an ample amount of accommodation make it an easy choice for the location of this year’s Surfing Hainan Open.
The 2nd Annual Surfing Hainan Open will be presented by Source, a clothing and lifestyle brand with store locations in Shanghai and Beijing. Additional info
