The Nemberala-Boa Open 2009
The Regional Government of East Nusa Tenggara have just announced that they will be hosting an international surfing competition named the Nemberala-Boa Open 2009 from September 17-20 on the beaches of Nemberala and Boa on the island of Rote. According the Regent of Rote, Leonardus Hanning, this professional surfing event is part of his regency’s participation in the Visit Indonesia Year 2009 international tourism effort, and will draw international and Indonesia’s top professional surfers to compete in the world-class waves of Rote in September.
Regent Hanning has subsequently enlisted the services of the Coca-Cola Indonesian Surfing Championship Tour to help set up and run the event. The Nemberala-Boa Open 2009 will be a 6-star prime ISC sanctioned professional surfing competition.
The Nemberala-Bo’a Open will not only be about surfing but will also act as a tourism promotion event in order to share the beauty of the island of Rote with the international audience. During the three days of competition there will be various local programs staged to allow the competitors and crew to see more of the culture, meet the local people, and tour several of the many scenic spots around the island.
