Slalom 4 K66-Fanatic-Duotone-ION Nat Championships - Eastbourne

About Slalom

UKWA Slalom represents windsurfing in its purest form. No matter what your ability, the kit you use or the discipline you specialise in, everyone can relate to the exhilaration of blasting back and forth, trying to squeeze that extra bit of juice out of your kit whilst racing your mates.

At an event you choose a fleet to join depending on your ability, and blast around a simple course, trying to get to the finish the quickest!

At the events, there are several fleets:

• Master Blaster Fleet: Any kit, launch from the beach, get around one bouy any way you can, and get back! First back to the flag wins.

• Amatuer Fleet: The stepping-stone to the Pros, you need to be able to gybe around a 5 bouy downwind course.

• Pro Fleet: People who have plenty of competitive experience, and racing slalom within the International Rules.

Kick back... relax...

Visitors can get a taste for an extreme experience of their own, with many activities to try yourself! 

Skating is another huge part of the festival with a freestyle skate park takeover for practicing stunts.

This free event happens on the Eastern Promenade with loads going on including a giant paddle board team race, a classic VW show, stalls, roller derby, skating, parkour, live music and loads more tbc. Buzz Active run sailing, windsurfing, kayak and stand up paddle boarding tasters, running at our Eastbourne site at 1000, 1200, 1400 and 1600 on the Saturday and Sunday.
