Wheels & Waves is one of those motorcycle events where you find a vast and diverse range of activities and people. Founded in 2008, it is going to be the 8th edition of this popular event that’s going to take place from 12th to 16th June 2019. Sponsoring the event yet again is Indian Motorcycle. This partnership began in 2107 and It’s the 3rd time in a row that Indian is the title sponsor of Wheels & Waves. And this time it has created an opportunity to win a brand-new FTR1200.
Grant Bester, Vice President and General Manager for Indian Motorcycle EMEA, said, “From our first attendance in 2016, it was clear that this event was something quite special, and why we became title sponsors the following year. With such a diverse range of events and activities, it’s really unique and resonates with our owners. We’re delighted to be official partners once again in 2019 and look forward to seeing everyone there.”
The 5-day event will bring together like-minded people to celebrate the joy and culture of motorcycling, surfing, and skateboarding. These 5 days will be a mix of events, art, good food, and great music. Expect to see many activities on a daily basis like surfing contests (depending on the weather conditions), music concerts, screening of films and documentaries on motorcycles, surfing, and skateboarding, etc.
The theme for the eighth edition Wheels & Waves is ‘Back to the roots’. It’s organized by Jérôme Allé and Julien Azé. “We really want to revive the spirit of Wheels & Waves origins, based on meeting and sharing different worlds and cultures, this enthusiasm and energy that allow us to live, for a few days, a unique experience in our life.”, explains Jérôme Allé.
Indian Motorcycle is not only the title sponsor of the Wheels & Waves 2019 but is also going to add more spice to the whole event. It will be ready with its famous Wall of Death in the main village. And Indian Motorcycle DTRA Hooligans will be over the border on the Saturday at San Sebastian, Spain for a day of racing in the El Rollo Flat Track event.
There’s also a chance for you to win the all-new Indian FTR1200. To participate in the contest you need to buy a 5-day ticket in advance. Indian Motorcycle will automatically enter you into the prize draw which will take place on Saturday night at the main village. To book an advance ticket visit the Wheels & Waves website.
