Anyhow it is a traditional windward leeward course with the start in the middle of the course. The competitors have to cross the gate/start everytime on the upwind and downwind. this gives a lot of tacking, gybing, tactics….

The tradewinds here are so consistent you can not believe it. The local surforganisation Associacao Cearense de Windsurf (http://www.acw.org.br )organised this year 8 FW events on 8 weekends and they have mow 64 races on the national resultlist..everyday 4 races…… the same with the 4 slalom events.
