From July 2nd to 7th, the IFCA SLALOM World Championships (Youth, Junior & Master) will take place in Torbole: a summer full of passion for many windsurfing fans on Garda Trentino. Circolo Surf Torbole is working hard to organize top-level international events, this year for slalom; The club racing team is ready to take advantage of this opportunity to compete on home waters.
After 6 years, the IFCA Slalom World Championships (International Funboard Class Association) for Junior, Youth and Master categories, will come back to Torbole. The Italian athletes, together with the French, German and Dutch, are among the world’s strongest in the slalom discipline.
From July 2nd to 7th – immediately after the RRD One Hour Classic – it will be the turn of IFCA Slalom World Championships: Alto Garda and especially Circolo Surf Torbole, are once again recognized as an important reference point for international windsurfing. We remind you that in 2019, the pre-Olympic year, the RS:X men and women Windsurfing World Championships are scheduled to be held at Circolo Surf Torbole.
Armando Bronzetti, Circolo Surf Torbole President:
Our athletes are ready to face the challenge of this IFCA YJM Slalom World Championships and to do their best on home waters. For this competition, we have set up a slalom team to get well trained on the regatta field with the aim to bring home important results. As Circolo Surf Torbole we are just as ready to host a high-level Championship, without neglecting details. Among the social events there will be two parties: One opening (coinciding with the RRD One Hour Classic final) and one closing the event. Thus, hoping to leave lasting a memories on and off the water.

Torbole and slalom do not need any introduction: We are talking about the European Capital of wind powered sport, the place where all champions have passed and where all windsurfing manufacturers developed new ideas. Slalom is a discipline that has excited all of us and is currently evolving. We expect incredible results; It is a great opportunity for the whole windsurfing movement, in the perfect part of the season for windsurfing enthusiasts from all over the world!
