 | Windsurfing is once again in danger of being removed from the Olympic Games. Currently, a committee in World Sailing has placed the RS:X class under review. This means windsurfing is again in competition with kiteboarding as an Olympic event.

Sign here if you support windsurfing as an Olympic class, and be sure to contact your sailing federation, the World Sailing Olympic Events Committee, and the World Sailing Council, all of whom have a vote in this matter, and may not come from a position of understanding what a great sport windsurfing is! |
