What exactly is a forward slalom?

When it comes to windsurfing, what is the difference between freeride, race and slalom?

  • Just confused about these categories as I am entering data to an online store with already existent categories, and one of them is Freeride/Race together, but from the source I am getting, they do not list both together and I am seeing a lot of boards under "slalom" performance.

  • Answer:

    Windsurfing can be a private activity or a group one. Group ones often involve competitions. Freeride is just that; as many stylish maneuvers as possible in a fixed time. Race: best time over a measured course. Slalom; best time over a course requiring direction changes. Competitions are organized into experience, age and sex groups,

Freeride is like race, but a bit more orientated towards recreational use. So if the store has Freeride and Race together, then that kind of makes sense. Slalom would also go in that category.
