JIM BEAM CABO FRIO WORLD CUP
RIO DE JANEIRO – BRAZIL
2 /10 september 2005
Freestyle – Wave – Speed – Kitecross
30,000$ prize money

The beautiful spot of Cabo Frio, Brazil, will host, for the first time of the story, the Jim Beam Cabo Frio World Cup, an event co-organized with our partner Blue Orange and sponsored by Jim Beam, the famous Bourbon brand.
Following the three first KPWT stages in Spain, Italy and Turkey, the Jim Beam Cabo Frio World Cup will be a new opportunity for the best pro international kiteboarders to gain points for the 2005 world cup title, and show their wide range of skills and talents during the various competitions mixing freestyle, wave riding, speed and kitecross.

This event will give the KPWT the opportunity to come back to Brazil, where several memorable competitions were held in Rio de Janeiro in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
This event is all the more eagerly-awaited as Jim Beam, with whom we’ve held the KPWT stages in Turkey for 4 years, will be part of this brazilian adventure as title sponsor, and as such already holds many surprises in store so as to please the competitors and spectators expected at Cabo Frio.
See what Ralph Ottmueller, head of Jim Beam Brands South America, says about it :

I believe that the partnership with KPWT on this new sport event is fantastic. It"s a sport that is growing fast around the world, specially in Brazil. It"s a sport that is fun, exciting and with lot"s of interesting maneuvers, very much what also Jim Beam Bourbon is all about. Jim Beam is for young people that like fun and excitement and are in the look out for new interesting mixtures like the Jim Beam Daiquiri, Jim Beam Margarita, the Kentucky cocktail, etc. Lots of exciting mixers that are delicious and very tasty! Jim Beam Bourbon mixes with anything, including with the KPWT kiteboard world cup!

No doubt that the Jim Beam Cabo Frio World Cup will be one of the highlight of the 2005 world cup season!!!
