&#8220;that was the most competitive day in Dominican SUP history&#8221; said Gannon who is pictured below.</p>
<p>&#8220;..I caught the first wave, but Glenn got on fire and stayed hot&#8221; said <a href="http://johnnykite.blogspot.com/">Maui John</a> &#8220;&#8230;that is the best i&#8217;ve seen him paddle&#8230;&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>La competencia que busca el atleta con mejor desempeño en las disciplinas de surf, kitesurf y windsurf se celebra en Cabarete hasta este domingo.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://masteroftheocean.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tm4.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1113" style="margin: 5px;" title="tm4" src="http://masteroftheocean.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tm4-300x201.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="161" /></a>Ayer viernes el tiempo le jugó una mala pasada a la octava versión de Master of the Ocean. De las tres eliminatorias pautadas solamente los competidores de surf pudieron avanzar hacia la final que se celebrarán este fin de semana, en Playa Encuentro, Cabarete.<span id="more-1112"></span></p>
<p>Las inestables condiciones climáticas imperantes, caracterizadas por el poco viento y los constantes aguaceros, llevaron a los organizadores del evento a posponer el triatlón acuático, específicamente los encuentros de kitesurf y windsurf, para hoy sábado a las once de la mañana.</p>
<p>Los que sí demostraron destreza sobre las olas fueron los atletas que participan el reglón de &#8220;Master Surf&#8221;. Holzoll, Gordon Gannon, Elisaul Bonilla, Franklin Mieses Montán, Nico Suriel, Denis Muller, Luciano González y Luis Alberto participarán esta mañana en la ronda de expertos. Los acompañarán Carlos Alfredo Rodríguez, Audrey Meyer, Luis Alberto Cruz, Antonio Chevalier, Gary Eversole y los hermanos Emmanuel y Christian Rondón.</p>
<p>&#8220;Master of the Ocean&#8221; es un novedoso certamen deportivo que cada febrero reúne en suelo criollo a grandes figuras, tanto nacionales como internacionales, que compiten en las disciplinas de surf, windsurf y kitesurf, con el fin de coronarse como &#8220;El rey de las olas&#8221;. Este año el evento cumple su octavo aniversario. Los interesados en seguir la incidencias de la competencia, pueden hacerlo a través del portal oficial de la misma,<a href="../" target="_blank">www.masteroftheocean.com</a>, y en las redes sociales Facebook y Twitter.</p>
<p>Master Of the Ocean se realiza bajo el patrocinio de la Secretaría de Estado de Turismo; Secretaría de Estado de Deportes, Educación Física y Recreación; Donell Skin; Encargo Group; Asociación de Hoteles y Restaurantes de Sosúa y Cabarete; Dakine; Productos Chef; Kite Beach Hotel, Europcar, Millennium, Gran Cabana Cabarete, Cabarete Coffee Company, M&amp;T Global, Groupo Ramos-La Sirena, Óptica López, Tres media Laboratorio de Comunicación, Surf school 321TakeOff.com, Vela, Lax, y Cinnamon café, entre otros.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>and surfers surfed on Friday at the Master of the Ocean. Clearing winds came from the West all night and into the am hours. Winds calmed as the surf grew. Friday had the biggest surf of the competition to date. <a href="http://johnnykite.blogspot.com/">Maui John </a>battled heavy conditions for 10 waves to take the day and bring the SUP Cup to a tie at 1- 1 with Gordon Gannon. Thursday and Friday are the days that count so far for the SUP CUP.<span id="more-1095"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://masteroftheocean.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wind.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1096 alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" title="wind" src="http://masteroftheocean.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wind-300x201.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="201" /></a>&#8220;&#8230;some people call these days &#8216;big and ugly&#8217; to me it&#8217;s head high surf with air conditioning&#8221; said <a href="http://johnnykite.blogspot.com/">Maui John </a></p>
<p>&#8220;it was a battle to get ten waves&#8230;at sunrise I thought that we would be kiting, surf cleaned up quickly as the Haitian wind laid down &#8221; said Maui John. &#8220;the <a href="http://www.stormsurfing.com/cgi/display.cgi?a=natla_height">swell</a> is rising&#8230;tomorrow will be big&#8230;the &#8216;Master&#8217; will be a big wave surfer&#8230;just what we wanted&#8221; said Maui John</p>
<p>Surf Qualifiers ran for the Overall Competition, good surfers struggled to get 3 waves in their heats, other surfers failed to catch any waves.</p>
<p>Maui John is using the Paddle Board in the <a href="../2010">Over All Surf</a>&#8230;here is what he had to say&#8230;&#8221; the surf is gonna be big and if the wind stays away I should be good, but if the wind comes &#8216;onshore&#8217; good short boarders will have a huge advantage&#8230;&#8221; said Maui John. I&#8217;m just hoping for no wind or off shore wind in the morning&#8230;the size is there&#8230;the storm passed&#8230;should have glassy surf in the mornings and good wind late&#8230;this could be a perfect surf and kite weekend!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Decenas de atletas participan en el popular triatlón acuático, tras grandes premios y el título de “amo de los mares”. La competencia inicia hoy miércoles.</p>
<p><a href="http://masteroftheocean.com/arranca-el-master-ocean-2010"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1061" style="margin: 5px;" title="Master of the Ocean day1" src="http://masteroftheocean.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tm1-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="138" /></a>Este martes un total de sesenta participantes acudieron a las inscripciones de la octava versión del “Master of the Ocean”, paso previo a las jornadas clasificatorias que tendrán lugar hoy miércoles y mañana jueves, rumbo a las finales del fin de semana.</p>
<p>La mítica comunidad turístico-deportiva de Cabarete, al norte de la República Dominicana, se convierte así en la protagonista absoluta de la actividad deportiva en el territorio quisqueyano. El poblado, que es universalmente conocido por las bondades naturales que ofrecen sus playas, es la cede del “Master of the Ocean”, evento anual en el que los mejores atletas del surf, kitesurf y windsurf que se dan cita en duras batallas acuáticas, para coronarse como el “Amo de los mares”.<span id="more-1059"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://masteroftheocean.com/arranca-el-master-ocean-2010"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1062" style="margin: 5px;" title="Master of the Ocean" src="http://masteroftheocean.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tm2-300x185.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="130" /></a></p>
<p>El “Master of the Ocean”, cuya octava versión inicia oficialmente a las ocho de la mañana de hoy, ha cosechado un notable éxito que ha repercutido a niveles internacionales. “La idea es promocionar al país a través de un evento único en el mundo y tener una plataforma alrededor de ese trío de deportes”, comenta Marcus Bohm, creador y principal promotor del evento. “En realidad estoy viviendo un sueño aquí porque en ningún otro país se desarrolla una competencia con estas características”, agregó.</p>
<p><a href="http://masteroftheocean.com/arranca-el-master-ocean-2010"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1064" style="margin: 5px;" title="Marcus Bohm" src="http://masteroftheocean.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tm3-300x201.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="141" /></a>Bohm dejó a su natal Alemania a principio de los años 90 y a su llegada a Cabarete quedó impresionado con las condiciones turísticas-deportivas del lugar. En 1992 fundó su escuela y emprendió un proyecto para enseñar el deporte a seis niños del área, dos por cada disciplina, solo a cambio de que se mantuvieran lejos de vicios y de los malos hábitos. Hoy, quince años después, algunos de esos estudiantes aparecen entre los mejores exponentes del país en sus respectivos eventos.</p>
<p>Algunos de ellos, como es el caso de Manuel Rondón, uno de los mejores surfistas a nivel mundial, se han dejado seducir por el desafío que representa este triatlón de eventos acuáticos, siendo doble campeón del mismo.</p>
<p>Esta octava edición cuenta con una completa agenda de actividades nocturnas y culturales, que complementan el espíritu que se trasmite en cada una de las mangas diarias. Además, como novedad, este año tendrá lugar una exhibición de Stand Up Paddle Surf, una nueva disciplina deportiva que está generando mucho interés en todas partes del mundo. Además, los interesados podrán seguir las competencias a través de las populares redes sociales de Facebook y Twitter.</p>
