One of the biggest Raceboard World Championships of recent times is ready to kick off on the Nove Mlyny Reservoir on Tuesday 3 September with 112 racers from 14 countries and 4 continents. 

The forecast favours light wind specialists but World Champion, Maksymilian Wojcik, who stormed the 2012 Worlds in Finland, is back to defend his title, along with Slovakian Patrik Pollak, 2011 Champion. 

The men will be divided into groups - blue and yellow - for a qualifying series before going into gold and silver groups for Championship titles.

A great flag ceremony opened the event followed by a dinner with traditional Moravian music to accompany the meal along with free beer and local wines.
