Los Alcázares to host second Youth+Junior Slalom PWA World Cup of 2018 between 2nd-5th May.
In January, the first PWA Youth World Cup was held in Almerimar, Spain, at Victor Fernandez's (Fanatic / NorthSails) Windsurfing Centre. The event hosted two disciplines - wave and slalom - but unfortunately it was only possible to gain a result in the wave discipline.
However, in just a couple of weeks the next generation of racers will be raring to go again as they get ready to compete in their second event of the year in Mar Menor (region of Murcia, the Alcázares), Spain, between 2nd-5th May.
The contest will be divided into the following age categories:
- Under 20s - MAX 1999, male and female.
- Under 17s - MAX 2002, male and female.
- Under 15s - MAX 2004, male and female.
- Under 13s - MAX 2006, male and female.
