CC: "Hello everybody and thanks for this chance. In two simple words, Protest and Discussion. The Italian racers would like the PWA rules to avoid the judge to deal an incredible number of protests, that means a big waste of time during the races. Often it's even impossible to complete the heat.

So we talked with the members of the Italian Windsurf Class and in full democracy this decision was taken. The PWA rules are recognized by ISAF, that means that we are able to try. It's an experiment! First in the world. Another interesting point is that every racer will use up to 3 boards and 6 sails throughout the season."
