THE EVENT
The MEXPIPE CHALLENGE SURF CARNIVAL

From February 16th to the 20th, 2007 once again will be the most important surf competition on Mexican soil. Taking place at beautiful Zicatela beach Puerto Escondido Oaxaca for the 7th consecutive year, national and international competitors will reunite. On this occasion, two disciplines which are by far the two fastest growing water sports in Mexico will be featured: surfing in the womens and mens categories. These events are sanctioned by the (a.s.p.) professional surfing association the (f.m.s) Mexican surf federation and the (a.s.e.o.) the Oaxaca surf association. In addition to the surfing we will be living a beach atmosphere and celebrating carnival in which the public will enjoy carnival parades, spectacles, beach activities, fashion shows and concerts.The mexpipe challenge: the avant-garde of beach events offers, and invites on this occasion, the youth to participate in the carnival, which will be held parallel to the surf event. The bases of this contest will be published in the web site www.mexpipe.com.mx 1 month before the event. We anticipate over 3000 spectators daily.

DETAILS
MEXPIPE CHALLENGE SURF CARNIVAL
The MEXPIPE CHALLENGE surf event will reunite surfers from more than 17 countries to compete in the womens and mens categories for a purse of $5 000.00 and $10 000.00 U.S. dollars respectively. The champions of each category will compete in a man on man final for a special prize.
This year the event transcends to a sanctioned international status by the A.S.P. (professional surfing association) and is a one star event on the WQS (world qualifing series) tour which puts it on the official calendar. It is also sanctioned by the F.M.S (Mexican surf federation) and the A.S.E.O (Oaxaca surf association)

CARNAVAL DE LA COSTA PUERTO ESCONDIDO OAXACA 2007
This year we will be enjoying the presence of the famous Amaranta Ruiz (the actress best know for her t.v. Program puro loco) as our queen of carnival. By night the carnival is a celebration full of colours and music, costumes, dance, smiles, and parades; men and women mingle in the streets in a dreamy atmosphere in a representation of happiness without any worries. The event of carnival has a purse of $15 000.00 U.S. Dollars.

CONCERTS
The concert this year will be held at night on the beach with reggueton: the music of the generation.
A very interesting point is that the public has the possibility to encounter the musicians in live performances in intimate circumstances in small jams after the concert.

FASHION SHOWS
There will be at least two fashion shows, one of high fashion and the other of bikinis at night in a beach atmosphere with beautiful international and national models.

BIKINI CONTEST
The bikini contest will fill your eyes with extreme images and emotions thanks to the attractive but very dangerous curves of the international and national competitors.
