In 2008 the Masters became the most impressive event in the whole Europe. The organizers received a lot of positive reports from judges and riders, gratitude from the International Water Ski Federation. This is why they expect the bigger number of foreign spectaculars this year. Besides the organizers decided to move the date from the Ukrainian Independence Day to attract the bigger amount of citizens who are usually trying to escape from Kiev during holiday weekends. This will also increase the flow of media.
