Freestyle
Freestyle sailing involves putting your board and sail through a series of tricks
and maneuvers that could include loops, turns, rail rides, sail spins.... anything
you can imagine. Consequently Freestyle sailing is always a crowd pleaser, attracting
media and sponsors. The discipline is rapidly growing in popularity, and the majority
of today's Freestyle pro's are young hard core sailors with a passion for adrenaline
rush and physical challenges. It is amazing what they can get a board to do.
The scoring is done by a panel of 5 judges, focusing on the overall impression and
the technical skills of the sailors. The Overall Impression and Technical Performance
scores will then be multiplied by a certain factor announced by the head judge.
