On the competition day, we were honoured to have Mrs CHOY LAM Sau-ha, Chief Leisure Manger (Sports Development), to officiate the kick-off ceremony as well as awards presentation ceremony. She cheered on the participants before the competition began. When the air horn was held up high in the air, all of the participants were keen to strive for a favorable position at the start and everyone was perfectly ready like arrow on the bow. With the blow of the air horn, the windsurf boards were unleashed with full sails, taking our young athletes heading for their goal. The sea off Tai Mei Tuk was full of vigor and vitality as our athletes sailed on wholeheartedly towards their dreams.
