At its AGM in Silvaplana IFCA decided not change the IFCA Class Rules for slalom 2006. This means that next year we will still be using our 2003 rule: maximum 10 square meter sails, maximum 85 cm width for the boards.
After consultation with PWA and the industry IFCA intends to change the maximum 85 cm width rule to a maximum 80 cm width rule from 2007 onwards. The reason is to clearly distinguish the disciplines Slalom and Formula Windsurfing and to adopt the actual situation where no slalom or freeride boards are available wider than 80 cm.
