Nestled in the south east corner of Korea, Jinha Beach has gained an
international reputation for windsurfing over recent years. Having
attracted mainstream media attention following its inclusion on the
PWA's World Tour, this once little known windsurfing location is fast
becoming something of a Mecca to Korean windsurfers.
Now in its third year on the World Tour, the PWA Ulsan World Cup is undoubtedly one of the most colourful locations the slalom fleet visits over the course of the competition year. Combining a rich and diverse culture with white sands and consistent trade winds, Jinha beach is guaranteed to serve up a unique competition atmosphere for the week long World Cup.
Running from the 16th - 22nd of May, this year's event has lured all of slalom's big players to Korea's shores. Following his victory in last week's Dwarf8 Surf World Cup in Austria, Britain's Ross Williams (Tabou / Gaastra) leads the men's fleet as they prepare for battle in Ulsan.
The Ulsan World Cup will also see the women's fleet embark on their opening event of the 2009 season. Following a ferocious battle for the top spot in 2008, Karin Jaggi (North Sails) and Valerie Ghibaudo (Tabou / Loft) will no doubt entertain another explosive fight for pole position.
The wind forecast for Ulsan / Jinha Beach looks okay right now with winds forecasted for Saturday and Sunday. For the long term forecasts, you can also watch the wind forecast maps for Eastern Asia. During the event, you can watch the current wind conditions in Ulsan on our wind report page for that spot and the PWA website keeps you updated with a live ticker and various coverage from the event.
