According to Class President Nick Bez, the Class is enjoying massive global growth. “The new LT has captured the imagination of the windsurfing world offering simple and cost effective one design racing with thousands of boards sold globally in the first year of release and becoming a World Sailing international class late last year.”

The first official World Championships will be held in late July on Lake Garda, Italy with over 170 competitors expected. Australia will host the 2020/21 Worlds on the Swan River in Perth.
