35.000 gathered at lake Neusiedl to celebrate the first surf worldcup weekend in Burgenland. While the surfers had to wait for the real big winds, the audience still witnessed some spectacular freestyle action and a lot of side events – like the ones from Dotz.
 

Like every year the shores of lake Neusiedl are the best location for a summer opening. Each time the surfers put up their sails against the wind, masses come to Podersdorf to celebrate the first warm weekend of the year with beach, music and cheerfulness.

...Dotz took care of some good vibes during the day. The co-sponsor of the surf worldcup pitched its tent at the best spot of the area: just in front of the main stage. Dotz showed at his 100 squaremeter booth what is worth moving on this summer.

And all those who did not chill on the big terrace next to the Dotz booth could make their time worth while a little bit more action packed. The 301 full motion simulator with 3d screen engineering was the venue of reckless races. Everybody matched up for a voucher worth 150 Euro for the Dotz onlineshop.

And the highest scorer of the first sunday at the surf worldcup took home the main price: He got himself a coupon for a complete set of Dotz tuning wheels.
