| Jim Beam IFCA European Slalom Championships 2005 from June 22nd to 26th in Alaçatı, Çeşme (Turkey) at the SurfnSound Festival
From June 22nd to 26th the IFCA European Slalom Championships 2005 will take place in in Alaçatı, Çeşme (Turkey). The windsurfing regatta is one of the highlights of the SURF'N SOUND SPORT and MUSIC FESTIVAL which is Turkey's most wide ranged sport and music festival. The event is organised in Alaçatı, Çeşme, Turkey by SportWorks Group who have already realized many successful sport and music events in Turkey. The event is the third tour stop of the Windsurfing Euro-Cup 2005, the premier racing and slalom series in the world. After two events with only racing (Formula Windsurfing) this is the first chance to score in the discipline slalom. Additionally EUR 15.000,00 prize money are waiting for the competitors.
The elite of the slalom racers are expected to participate in the IFCA European Slalom Championships 2005. They will be challenged by the Turkish locals who are enthusiastic about this discipline and look forward to meet the pros in their home waters. Among the pre registered competitors you can find big names lake the fastest windsurfer on earth, Finian Maynard (KV-11, F2, Naish Sails). The current Speed World Record holder is hungry to show that he is not only one of the fastest on the straight line but also able to dominate around the jibing marks. He will be challenged by the Italian Champion Andrea Cucchi (ITA-1, Starboard, Neil Pryde) and the Canadian Champion Sam Ireland (CAN-1, Starboard, Neil Pryde). Also hot is the British slalom expert Dan Ellis (GBR-52, Fanatic, North Sails). But several racers have not done their pre registration, yet. So we may very well see some surprises on the entry list…
Alaçatı is one of the Worlds best venues for slalom competitions with steady side shore wind over 15 knots. So the competitors can enjoy great windsurfing conditions on the water. But also besides the competition itself everything is well prepared that they will never forget their stay in Turkey. The alternative program with Dragonboat races, Kiteboarding, Motocross, Bungee Jumping and BMX-Skate shows will ensure a non-stop entertainment. Not to forget the incredible party program with Alan Parsons Live Project and Manga concerts which make the SURF'N SOUND SPORTS and MUSIC FESTIVAL unique. Of course all participants of the IFCA European Slalom Championships have free entry to all events.
So everything is perfectly prepared for the IFCA European Slalom Championships 2005. The official competitions will take place from Thursday, June 23rd to Sunday, June 26th. The closing ceremony with prize giving will take place on Sunday evening.
