DUTCH DW 2025 EVENT

The 2025 Dutch Downwind Event is a community focused event with the goal of bringing together the downwinding community and enjoying good bumps together.

The event is going to take place on the Markermeer - along the Oostvaardsedijk. This should give super fun and accessibly bumps to a wider range of levels.

The event is made up of two parts as we want the event to cover the various facets of downwinding (racing, surfing, cruising):

Registration and Waiver

Event Schedule

The event will run off fixed start times for each leg

Part 1: Time TBC depending on wind conditions

Part 2: Will start 1hour after the start time of Run 1

Part 3: Borrel at Club Portside in Lelystad Haven

Logistics

We will be self shuttling along the course. Timings will be sent out prior to the event for meeting, briefing etc to ensure that we will have time for shuttles

Safety

For safety reasons we will have to run with a minimum level to take part in the full event (Part 1 and Part 2).

For those who do not feel that they can complete Part 1 in the event time frame (1hr), they can opt to start with the Part 2 start.

The time window for Part 1 can be increased in discussion with the fleet and event organizer.

For those who do not meet the minimum criteria, there is an option to register and start when you wish (earliest start - Part 1 start time). Just sign up so that we have numbers and tick that you do not meet the minimum requirement.

Note: we will have a safety boat. Hence why a minimum level is needed to keep to these timings and keep riders as close together as possible.
