CHAMPIONSHIP
STARTS BEFORE.
The last days before a World Championship are not the moment to guess.
The Point-7 Alaçatı Youth Fin Black Clinic is designed to help young slalom riders arrive at the Worlds with their equipment checked, their fin setup understood, their starts sharper and a clear plan for the conditions.
The clinic is open to everyone. You do not need to be a Point-7 rider or belong to a Point-7 club. Riders from other clubs and teams are welcome.
Tune.
Board, fin, sail, mast, boom, mast track, straps and rig settings checked for the expected conditions.
Start.
Timing, acceleration, positioning and decision making before and after the line.
Race.
Line choice, speed versus control, mark approach, jibing and race management.
Prepare.
Build a clear setup and race plan before the Worlds begin on 10 August.
ARRIVE READY TO RACE.
REAL TRAINING.
REAL PREPARATION.
THE DETAILS
THAT WIN RACES.
Choose the right fin.
Understand size, power, control and how fin choice changes the complete board and rig balance.
Lock in the trim.
Downhaul, outhaul, boom height, harness lines and mast choice for acceleration and control.
Set the platform.
Mast track, footstraps, stance and board balance matched to fin and sail.
Be ready at zero.
Positioning, time-on-distance, acceleration and how to avoid losing the race before the first reach.
Fast but usable.
Find race speed you can control through chop, traffic and full slalom heats.
Exit with speed.
Entry decisions, pressure management, line choice and acceleration out of the mark.
LEARN IT.
TEST IT ON THE WATER.
NOT THEORY.
RACE SETUP.
Andrea Cucchi will lead the clinic with a focus on the small details that change race performance: equipment matching, fin tuning, rig setup, starts, control and decision making.
The objective is not to make everyone use the same setup. It is to help each rider understand what works for their own equipment, weight, level and conditions.
THE FORECAST
SETS THE PLAN.
Alaçatı conditions can change from day to day, so the clinic will not follow a fixed programme just to follow a timetable.
Each day’s schedule will be confirmed the evening before according to the forecast, with the goal of using the best possible windows for training on the water and tuning on land.
TOMORROW'S PLAN.
EVERY EVENING.
ONE CLINIC.
OPEN TO EVERYONE.
Team riders.
Use the clinic to fine-tune the full setup and race plan before the Worlds.
Everyone welcome.
You do not need Point-7 equipment. The coaching is about understanding and improving your own racing setup.
No club restriction.
Riders from any club, school or national team can join.
Race focused.
Designed for young fin slalom racers preparing for the IFCA JYM Worlds.
