I see that Dec 10-17 the "King of the Caribbean PWA World Championship Freestyle Finals will be in Bonaire - how many people will this bring to the island? How busy was the island last year during the event?

It was a great event. Even with more people on island, it is not too noticeable. It may be a bit hard to find a rental car or you may have to make a dinner reservation a bit earlier, but never masses of people.....

From an organizers perspective, the greatest impact is exactly as Michael shared, rental cars and also the airport on specific arrival and departure dates was a little frenetic, mostly for me trying to coordinate gear transport. There are 5 nights of parties at designated spots so one can avoid those or join in. Most of the guests who came were not spectators but competitors. We hope to see more visitors this year. Unlike other PWA events, it's not so easy to get to this one. In Italy and Spain and Cape Cod one can drive to watch but here it is a costly venture for a spectator.

Does anyone have any current news on the status of the event? I have been searching the internet and can not find any information for the 2003 event, only last years. I'd like to come and watch but aren't sure of dates and if it is even happening.
