I love this stuff. I reckon it's the most exciting form of windsurfing to watch live / televised live. I'm surprised it's kind of vanished.

Wow that's so cool bloody demanding I bet

very cool! looks awesome when everyone was jumping over the obstacle at same time...love PV comments...bunch of slalom sailors that can't freestyle and a bunch of freestylers that cant slalom!

At the Green Island Nats on day 4 the Freestyle Guys treated everyone to a 'freestyle slalom race' , same concept, had to do a trick each leg, duck gybe a certain buoy, loop on one of the legs and if I recall correctly the last leg had to be sailed 'clew first' !! was a classic!

Think you nailed it SHQ with the liability issues !! :( any sanctioned event that has any form of risk associated is just getting too hard to deal with... better to just organise as a loosely involved turn up race and go home with no one responsible other than the participants....oh just like the good old days when Insurance was reserved for cars and houses.
