Day 5 and final day of the 2025 Vaikobi National Windsurfer Class Championships at Toronto Amateur Sailing Club NSW, 22nd- 26th.

In the morning we were greeted by a number of competitors performing their Freestyle 3-minute routines to a thumping soundtrack providing the Spectator gallery with awesome entertainment. Adding to the spectacle was the engaging commentary keeping the audience amused.

After the freestyle was finished the remainder of the Slalom knockout heats, in an 8-12 knot SSE breeze, were concluded. Then a three-race final determined the overall Slalom Champion.

Presentation and prize-giving were held at the magnificent Toronto Hotel.
