PWA event in Marignane cancelled

19/04/2023

It is news that will disappoint windsurfing fans all over the world and especially those expecting a competition in France: the PWA World Tour event scheduled for May/June 2023 in Marignane has been cancelled. This decision was taken on Wednesday 19th April due to a problem with the calendar which made it impossible to organise the event in the conditions required.

Following the intervention of the FFVoile (French Sailing Federation), the dates planned for May for the Marignane event were no longer possible and it was therefore envisaged that the event would be held later in 2023. However, after further consultation with the FFVoile, event sponsors and local organisers, it was not possible to agree a suitable date with a good chance of good weather conditions. In the interests of the long-term success of the event, it was therefore decided to focus on an event in the first half of 2024.

For the slalom racers who had been preparing for this date, just after the first event of the season in this discipline on Lake Garda, this is a blow, with 1 of the 8 events on the calendar already off the table.
However, the organising team, led by Delphine Bijvoet-Bremond, has assured that it is already working on a 2024 edition of the event, with the stated aim of making it a regular fixture on the world circuit.
