More about the East Coast Windsurfing Festival.
The ECWF is about getting together and having fun! Isn't this what windsurfing is all about? Those that have attended the ECWF in years past know how much fun this event is.
Race Format: All racing will be held at field 7 at Heckscher State Park, NY. There is NO WIND MINIMUM to race! We simply need to be able to move forward comfortably on a windsurf board. The actual course is subject to change depending on the number of racers and wind conditions. The course will have upwind and downwind legs. We will run multiple races on both Saturday and Sunday. All race classes will race together, but classes will be scored separately. We will use a points system for the final score. 1st place racer gets 1 point, 2nd place gets 2 points, 3rd place gets 3 points, etc. Points will be added together for all races for the final scores. The racers with the lowest scores in each class wins! We will drop a racer's worst score if more than 6 races are completed over the course of the weekend.
Official registration will be onsite from 10:00am - 11:00am on Saturday morning at the beach and is completely free of charge compliments of Severne, Starboard Windsurfing and Hampton Watersports.
Race Classes: Choose to enter the class that fits best:
Men's 6.5 ltd - Sails 6.5 and under / No boards with daggerboards / No Foils (SUP without daggerboards are ok for ltd class)
