Surf Ski Relay
Σκυταλοδρομία με Ωκεανικό Σκάφος
Event description
The surf ski relay race shall be conducted under the general rules of the surf ski race. Teams shall consist of three competitors, who may use the same craft. Competitors must obey the Starter’s or Check Starter’s directions concerning surf ski alignment at the start. First competitor: Competitors for the first leg of the relay shall be started as in the surf ski race and paddle around the buoys. Having completed the course, the first competitor may leave his or her craft (and paddle), round the two green and yellow turning flags and tags with the second competitor on the designated surf ski changeover line. Second competitor: The second competitor completes the same course, rounds the two turning flags, and tags with the third competitor on the designated surf ski changeover line. Third competitor: The third competitor completes the same course, rounds one turning flag, passes the other flag on the shoreward side, and finishes between the two finish flags. Competitors in the surf ski relay events must commence their leg of the event from the correct allotted position. The first and third competitor in each team commence from the team’s drawn starting position. However, the drawn starting position is reversed for the second competitor in each team. For example, in a 16-competitor race in which a team has drawn position 1: the first competitor commences from position 1; the second competitor commences from position 16; the third competitor commences from position 1.
