Windsurfing NSW, Marmong Point Sailing Club and Stormriders Windsurfing Club are excited to present the 2015 NSW Slalom Championships, to be held from 20th-22nd November 2015 in Sanctuary Point on the NSW South Coast.

The event will run across 3 days (Friday-Sunday) and also incorporate Round 2 of the NSW GPS Series. The location will be John Williams Reserve (also known as the Boat Ramp), Sanctuary Point, which is about 2.5 hrs drive south of Sydney. Typical summer wind conditions there are 15-20 knot northeasterly seabreezes interspersed by southerly cold fronts up to 30 knots. Water conditions are small-moderate chop depending on wind strength and direction.

The general plan each day will be loosely based on the successful Green Island model:
- Briefing mid-late morning
- Slalom Racing once it's windy enough
- Freerace session(s) afterwards
- After sailing drinks and snacks on the shore, and download GPS results
- Dinner and socialise at the Golf Club, Husky Pub etc etc

Slalom details:
- 3 days of racing in one of our states best windsurfing locations
- Wind permitting we will do Downwind M-course racing, or figure-8 course in lighter winds
- Experienced race crew led by Race Officer Nick Nelson from IYC Windsurfing
- Bottles of wine and great hand made trophies for the winners
- Event T-shirts free for all competitors.
- Currently planning Open, Grand Masters and Juniors divisions, but will run a Womens division if there is interest
- Confirmed entries already from interstate!

GPS details:
- We will do at least one 30 minute Freerace session per day across the 3 day event
- The handicap division (2 sec, 5x10, Alpha, NM) will be running, so that can include either time on the water during slalom racing or just free-sailing any time during the day
- A bottle of wine will be awarded for winners of the Freerace and Handicap Divisions!
