Star Events, the company behind the international TriStar triathlon series, and Aqua Sphere, a leading wetsuit and swim accessories brand, have teamed up in several European destinations in 2012.
Nine TriStar events have Aqua Sphere as the exclusive wetsuit partner. As the two companies point out, ‘all [TriStar] participants are benefiting from their service around the events: wetsuit testing, rental and the possibility to purchase wetsuits at special rates.’ Cannes, Salzkammergut, Deauville, Lyon, Kufstein, Estonia, Monaco, Split and Madrid will be the selected TriStar destinations benefiting from the partnership in 2012.
TriStar Cannes in April and Salzkammergut in June had seen the initial launch of the partnership. Deauville, this coming weekend, is the next one on the calendar for the expanding TriStar series!
“Aqua Sphere is present on more than 3000 triathlons worldwide each year,” said Jim Cogne, Aqua Sphere’s European Sales Manager. “Aqua Sphere is very happy today to collaborate on TriStar sporting events. The cooperation between Aqua Sphere and TriStar is based on the same sport values: passion, pleasure and surpassing oneself supported by the use of technology products designed for performance.”
Next to providing athletes with swim equipment and becoming a sponsor of several events, Aqua Sphere is also the official wetsuit rental partner for many of the TriStar races in Europe. Here, athletes can test the top-end Aqua Sphere Phantom model that ‘perfectly suits the needs of pros and age group triathletes.’
“This agreement is based on the TriStar’s commitment to look for high quality products specifically designed for triathletes,” said Olivier Castelli, Chief Operating Officer of Star Events.
Castelli added, “Aqua Sphere’s philosophy of quality and innovation matches perfectly with our idea of how triathlon can be the best experience for our participants. From the first talks on we felt the same commitment and we look forward to a successful partnership with a brand that has proven to be state of the art.”
