Our plan is to be prepared, make the right call and hope for good conditions.” Says, Rodney Kilborn, APT Vice President and event sanctioning director. With a holding period from December 15, 2006 thru March 31, 2007, some of the best and most respected towsurfers from around the world will be competing for one of eight available slots that will permit a winning team to advance to a seeded position in the Mexico and South America events later this year.
