2023 Windsurfer Class WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
|
After much delay due to COVID and a few hiccups along the way, finally the home Worlds for Australia are locked in! And we couldn't be more excited.
We invite you to join the local Western Australian Windsurfer Class sailors and hundreds of others for a regatta like no other. The Worlds will showcase the amazing Windsurfer Class spirit - 50% fair racing and 50% social fun. Fantastic racing conditions on the Swan River from host club South of Perth YC await - with a full program of course, marathon, slalom and freestyle. Age and weight divisions mean that old rivalries will be maintained, and new racers will get to experience the Class vibe. The Australian Class looks forward to supporting the International Windsurfer Class and getting a huge Australian team on the water. |
