2 WELCOME The Federación Argentina de Esqui y Wakeboard (FADEW) and Pampa Cable Park are honored to invite all Federations to participate in the 2018 IWWF World Cable Wakeboard & Wakeskate Championships to be held from February 14 th to February 23 rd 2019, under IWWF rules and supervision. 1. DATES Youth and Senior Categories: 14 th to 19 th February 2019 Open & Seated Categories: 20 th to 23 rd February ORGANIZER 2.1 NATIONAL ORGANIZER FADEW Federación Argentina de Esquí y Wakeboard Presidente: Dr. Jorge Renosto presidente@fadew.com.ar Pro secretaria: Sra. Laura De Armas prosecretario@fadew.com.ar 2.2 LOCAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Walter Ditsch (FADEW) walter@aghsa.com.ar Luciano Chedrese (Pampa Cable Park) luciano@chedrese.com.ar Official Competition Page: INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONING BODY International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation (IWWF) President: Mr José Antonio Perez Priego (MEX) president@iwwfed.com Executive Director: Mr Paul Fong (SGP) executive@iwwfed.com Official Website: Facebook Page: 3. LOCATION 3.1 PAMPA CABLE PARK Autopista Nacional 12 Km105, Camping Las Tejas Isla Talavera Campana, Buenos Aires Argentina The Cable Park is located by the Parana River Delta. It is connected to what the locals call el continente-the continent by the Zárate-Brazo Largo bridge. An aprox 1300 mts long bridge over the Parana River, between the island zone and the city of Zárate. The location of the cable is formally Campana, but the neareast city is Zárate (6 km) instead of Campana (12 km). Pampa is part of the Camping Las Tejas, a 3000 ha camping place with ungalows, place for camping, off road, motox and MTB trials, a beach by the Parana River coast and two huge old passenger ships.

3 3.2 CABLEWAY Rixen, 5 towers, Counter Clockwise, 711 metres long. 11 Unit Parktech features plus one natural poolgap. 4. HOW TO GET TO PAMPA CABLE PARK The nearest airport is the International Airport Ezeiza - Ministro Pistarini, Buenos Aires. Transportation (Airport - Pampa - Airport) will be provided free of charge for Technical Officials and offered to riders and teams at cost (riders and teams to refer to 4.2 for transportation arrangements). Estimated time varies from 90 to 120 minutes. All major Rent a Car Companies are available in Buenos Aires. Ask the local organizers on the convenience of having a rented car depending on your accommodation. If you take some of the accommodation offers located inside the Las Tejas Camping probably it makes more sense to arrive with a Shuttle and rent a bicycle at the cable for internal transportation. Bringing your own bicycle is a good option too. As Pampa Cable Park is located formally in Campana, but the nearest city is Zárate, in case of seeking advice, it is easier to refer to the location of the cable as Zárate or once near as Camping Las Tejas. 4.1 OFFICIAL TRANSPORTATION COMPANY The company MANUEL TIENDA LEON has offices at Ezeiza Pistarini and Jorge Newbery airports. In Ezeiza their office is located immediately after you clear customs and before arriving at the lobby of the airport. To request for a quote or reservation with them please contact: akarasu@tiendaleon.com.ar & mmarin@tiendaleon.com.ar and remember to inform them the number of board bags you will have with you. 5 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS 5.1 NOMINATION: It is the sole responsibility of IWWF-affiliated National Federations to select and enter their riders.
