AMSLAM 2010 Windsurfing Championship

Mana Mana is pleased to be hosting its first Windsurfing Event since it moved from Bintan, Indonesia to the East Coast of Singapore in Jan 2008.

WHAT IS AMSLAM?

The AMSLAM name derives from Amateur and Slalom. Slalom windsurf racing is the class name used to categorise strong wind and high speed racing with a number of tight turns.  

HISTORY OF AMSLAM

During 14 years of operation on Bintan, Mana Mana hosted AMSLAM for 10 years and it was part of the Asian Windsurfing Tour (AWT). The event attracted big names in windsurfing such as Josh Stone (US), Jason Polakow, Phil Mgain & Robby Radis (Australia), Roberto Hoffman (Italy) and Dan Ellis (UK).

Asian windsurfers frequently made the podium with names such as, Kookiat Sakulfaeng, Bo Ramsuap (both Thailand), Ayako Suzuki (Japan), Yoon Sung Soo (Korea) Tan Wearn Haw, Andrew Foo, T.C. Chua, Rachel Ng and Catherine Chua (all Singapore). A TV show was created following the AWT which was powered by the NE monsoon winds starting from November in Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Saipan.

AMSLAM 2010

Singapore will bring new challenges to windsurfers and AMSLAM is open to a wide variety of windsurfing classes such as RSX Olympic, Formula, Bic Techno 293 and Raceboard. Newcomers to windsurfing will also have the opportunity to compete in the FUNSTER category.

Guest of Honour will be Dr Ben Tan, President, Singapore Sailing Federation and there will be a guest appearance from Audrey Yong, Singapore’s bronze medallist in the Youth Olympic Games.

The event will be complemented by an AMSLAM/Formula 1 Sunday night  party where competitors and spectators can enjoy F1 on a giant screen with the cooling sea breeze.
