Surf Ski Race Αγώνας με Ωκεανικό Σκάφος
Event description
A Single Surf Ski is a craft propelled primarily by a competitor with a paddle. Refer to the ILS
Facility and Equipment Standards Section for details.
Competitors steady their surf skis in line in approximately knee-deep water about 1.5 m apart.
Competitors must obey directions from the Starter or Check Starter concerning surf ski alignment
at the start.
On the starting signal, competitors paddle their surf skis around the course marked by buoys and
return to finish when any part of the surf ski crosses the in-water finish line – ridden, gripped, or
carried by the competitor.
Competitors may lose contact with or control of their surf ski without necessarily being
disqualified. To complete the race, competitors must have (or have regained) their surf ski and
paddle and cross the in-water finish line from the seaward side while maintaining contact with the
surf ski and paddle.
Competitors are not permitted to hold or otherwise interfere with other competitors’ surf skis or
deliberately impede their progress.
Dry start and finish: If conditions are such that the Starter cannot provide a fair start, a dry start
and/or dry finish shall be used. See below.
Disqualification
In addition to the General Rules in Section 2 and those outlined in 4.1 through 4.3, the following
behaviour shall result in disqualification: Failure to complete the course as defined and described
(DQ12).
