Speed World Cup Rulebook Now Available

WEDNESDAY, 27 FEBRUARY 2008

The 2008 Rulebook for the Speed World Cup is now available for download. Please check www.speedworldcup.com for the latest changes regarding the upcoming season.

The International Speed Windsurfing Class is the successor to the International Speedsurfing Association, which was administering the discipline of speed windsurfing in the years 2005-2007 on behalf of IFCA.

Effective May 2007, the ISWC has become an ISAF international class, and thus is entitled to control all aspects of the sport and award the official world champion titles in the discipline of speed windsurfing.

The ISWC is a rider’s association, which means that the riders themselves control the development of the sport. Besides the organizing people behind the scene, the executive committee is thus completed with the riders’ elected representatives. Its current and past members are the “crème de la crème” of Speedsurfing worldwide.

Elected chairman of the board is Peter Davis from Great Britain, enthusiastic rider and organizer of the famous Weymouth Speedweek. Board Member Markus Schwendtner from Germany already controlled the speed discipline business as ISA Tour Manager, and will continue this successful task for the ISWC now.

The ISWC events go from exceptional action in Namibia to more cosmopolitan spots such as Fuerteventura - the historical European Speedsurfing Capital, to huge shows of extreme conditions on small islands like Karpathos. In total, there are 200 to 300 members of the association at the same time, from places like Australia or Brazil, to Germany or Norway.

The Tour offers dynamic, thrilling action, and it brings the most visually dynamic aquatic sports to the audience, making it a perfect vehicle to locate sponsors’ logos; a sport that is set outdoors, healthy and environment-friendly.

Superb action on the water, combined with an interactive and exciting life experience - that creates an atmosphere where the fans and the media are face to face with the most radical and intense competition and the biggest personalities of the sport.

Besides being a sport of radical action, Windsurfing is a way of life. This type of life is formed by several elements to which many aspire, but that few can really achieve. Most, if not even all, of these aspects of the sport are represented in the Speedsurfing Grand Prix Tour.

The ISWC is entitled to hold World, Continental, and National Championships and is always looking for partners, local organizers as well as national associations, to propagate this exciting and thrilling discipline all over the world.
