RULES
Contest Opportunity
Contest Dates are announced by the race officers by
18.00 the day before the event at surfzone.se and surfclubklagshamn Group
on Facebook. If possible, it will be an "early warning" about the
planned event. Normally this contest is announced only if the forecast
indicates an average wind speed above 20 knots on the part of the day when
people usually leave from work. The benchmark for the launch event is at least
one windsurfer must be able to run faster than 30 knots per contest
opportunity. Unless someone passing a 10 second average speed of 25 knots the
race will be invalid.

etc. are not counted as flotation devices. Competition Management reserves the
right to call off the contest at any time during the race day. Examples of
reasons could be thunder, too much or too little wind or other reason. As the
competition area is very large, it is important that all participants help each
other if someone needs help. Failure to provide help to those who show
emergency signal will be disqualified. Anyone who gives assistance to such an
extent that he/she does not itself implement the competition can apply to have
