The arrival of the WQS circuit’s 6*Prime Championship this year in Spain, and in fact, the Canaries, will result in a sporting event of world class standing.

With prizes valued at $125,000 we expect to attract the presence of well-known WCT competitors.

Without doubt, this will be the most widely covered Championship held to date on our coasts, and we hope, one of the greatest successes.

The prize in Lanzarote gets this way as one of the most important of the european calendary.

This year we will strengthen the ties between the Championship and programmes dealing with leisure and culture, uniting sports with music, ecology, sport fashion and other events.

These parallel activities will promote values and activism for environmental sustainability at the event sites, La Caleta de Famara and San Juan beach.

Aside from the registered participants, the ASP has requested 20 places for competitors from the WCT who will compete at this year’s LaSantaPro, guaranteeing to raise the level of competition ever to be held in the Canary Islands to date.

There will also be changes to the Final Concert of the Championship.  Starting this year, La Santa Surf will actively participate in the organisation of the concert together with the Lanzarote Sports Council and the Teguise Town Council.
There will be more rock ("La Pulquería", "Rockaina", "La Gallina Verde", "The Vibrants"..) as well as electronic music ("Mendetz", "Dj Surfer", "Dj Soñadora"..) with the aim of holding a great party that will grow in size and international stature with each year reaching the quality of the competition itself.

More activities:

• SURFWEAR MARKET
  
  During the week, there will be a sports apparel market where various surf wear brands will exhibit and sell their products from eight tents (5m x 5m) within the competition area. These brands will also participate by dressing the entrants in the first of the fashion shows for the LaSantaPro Girl contest.




• CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS
  
  

  Starting this year, conferences/talks and workshops aimed at children and teenagers will take place throughout the week of the Championship. Aside from enjoying the surf, kids will be able to attend a series of talks focussed on teaching them aspects of sustainability that we have been put into action for the Championship and will continue to strengthen in the coming years. The talks and workshops will revolve around themes such as renewable and alternative energy, recycling, surf, marine biodiversity, etc.

  This year will see the first LaSantaPro Girl contest offering cash prizes for bathing suit and sportswear categories within a laid back atmosphere. Various well-known fashion professionals from Lanzarote and the mainland will help organise the event.
