The panel of expert, internationally acclaimed judges meet in Cabarete each year from all over the world and will choose only one special athlete to be the Master of the Ocean!

Originally conceived as the “Iron Man of Water Sports”, the competition was created by German waterman Marcus Bohm , with the idea of providing an opportunity for Dominicans and Dominican residents to compete side by side with international professionals.
