Manama : ART Rotana Amwaj Islands, the luxury resort located in Amwaj, has announced its backing to avid kite surfer and world record holder, Anke Brandt as she attempts to break her 2014 record in spring this year.
ART Rotana will provide training facilities and facilitate accommodation needs of German kite surfer Anke Brandt and her team as they prepare to take on this new challenge.
In 2014, Bahrain resident Anke Brandt, kite surfed 250km non-stop around the Kingdom in a 12 hour mission that gained her international recognition and secured her a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. In spring this year, Anke will attempt to break her previous record by sailing from Bahrain to the UAE in 20 hours or less.
“Sport is an art in its own respect and here at ART Rotana we encourage art in all its various shapes and forms,” commented Patrice Cornee, Resident Manager from ART Rotana.
Commenting on the partnership, Anke Brandt stated, “I am very excited to be attempting this mission and I am thankful to ART Rotana for their genuine support; the hotel facilities are very suitable for my type of training and helping me prepare for this challenge.”
