Unique race may highlight appeal of Croatia holiday

12 May 2010

The unique nature of a Croatia holiday was perhaps illustrated last weekend when scores of surfers bundled abroad trams in Zagreb and made their way to a nearby lake.

As part of the first ever Super Surfers City Challenge, competitors were required to bring their three-metre boards and dive in at Jarun Lake, explains the Croatian Times.

It is believed more than 20 people joined in with the event, which involved surf-rowing for four kilometres across the lake.

"Who would have thought that a landlocked city like Zagreb would be a surfer heaven?", one resident told the publication.

The event may act as an inspiration for those planning a summer holiday this year, with Croatia's diverse landscape that offers a plethora of activities one possible attraction.

People interested in getting their surf board out on holiday could take a more conventional route and head to the Dalmatian coast, where miles of sea are available to those with a passion for watersports.
