SLALOM
A speedy marking battle!

• 

  “Slalom” takes place on the course where windsurfing can gain the most speed.
  The race starts at the start line on the windward side and zigzags around several marks on the leeward side to reach the finish line.
  The first marking in particular greatly determines the ranking, so battles and games are going to be fierce.
  
  In “Slalom”, the one who runs through the course the fastest is the winner. This straightforwardness of slalom is also appealing.

• 

The world's most prestigious battle, contested only on the “windfoil”, the F1 on the water!

• Slalom competitions are divided into "Slalom X", where competitors glide on the water using fins, and "Foil Slalom", where competitors float and glide on foils.
  Only the Foil Slalom event will be held at the Yokosuka/Miura competition.
  In past competitions, races have been held in strong winds with a maximum wind speed of 20m/s.

• 

Tournament SystemRule

The competition is conducted in a tournament format, with the standard eight competitors per heat (group), with the top four advancing to the next heat.

In PWA races, the top ranked competitors (or the top of the previous race) are seeded and start the second and third rounds.
The final race is held with the eight winners of the tournament (including the losers’ resurrection round), and the tournament is repeated in Races 1 and 2 as long as time permits. The final ranking is determined by the overall results.
