MAR MENOR WINDSURFING SURFARI

Weekend of October 12th and 13th:

The Mar Menor is a natural paradise on the Murcian coast and ideal for
water sports. Over 70 kms of beaches around the interior sea and many more
along the Mediterranean side of the coast, an average temperature of 18º

and good wind conditions, all make the Mar Menor an ideal place for
sailing. And of course windsurfing is one of the most popular nautical
sports, with the Surfari being the most emblematic windsurfing event held
during the year. The Surfari of the Mar Menor is the big autumn meeting
for all windsurfers, with well over a hundred boards and numerous
exhibiters decending on the town of Los Alcázares for this classic
event.

The meeting itself combines long-distance races around the Mar Menor with
an exhibition on the beaches of Los Alcázares of all the new equipment

that will be appearing next season.

For this, the V holding of the event, there will be more prizes and more
participants, of whom we hope there will be even more foreigners taking
part. The event, organised by the Estación Náutica
del Mar Menor (an
organisation bringing together the entrepreneurs of the area), also has
the support of the magazine Surf a Vela.

Two different regattas will be held, one for Formula Windsurfing, with no
limitation on the material used (bring your license and class card), and
another for Formula Open where sails are limited to less than 10 sq.
metres.
