The 2011 German Speedsurfing Championships take place in Fehmarn, 3-11 September – for the first time this event is licensed by ISWC and is one of the five European Championship rounds.

International competitors will take part from all over Europe as this event will count as one of their major point scoring locations to decide the European Champions for 2011. They have confirmed entry for top German national speedsurfers like Manfred Merle, Thomas Doeblin and the current tour leader Thorsten Mallon will be there as well as international stars such as Belgians, Patrick Van Hoof and from England the world women’s No 1 Zara Davis.

For the third time, the isle of Fehmarn is the location of the final of the German Speedsurfing Tour.
