Several internationally renowned windsurfers are taking part in this edition,
including Moroccan windsurfer Guilloul Boujmaa, which was to begin on Monday,
but was postponed due to the lack of sufficient winds.
This is the first competition of its kind in Morocco and the third in the world
after Fuerteventura (Canary Islands) and La Reunion (France).
According to organizers, "Wave Classic" aims at boosting windsurfing to provide
a stunning spectacle, promoting team spirit and highlighting the beauty of
nature and the ecological character of this sport and its dynamism.
On the sidelines of the one-week event, participants will conduct an awareness
campaign on environmental protection by launching an operation to clean the
city's beach and dedicate a day to teach the basics of windsurfing to a group of
children.
