Icarus Sailing Media has a long standing relationship with the official windsurfing class of the Olympics, the RS:X. The RS:X is the fastest class with speeds reaching up to 65 km/h and offers the most exciting racing since 1984, when it first joined the Olympic programme.
The equipment used is always 'One Design' and the aim is to ensure that the sailor with the most talent and ability will be the final winner. The 'One Design' ethos has encouraged more than 60 nations from 6 continents to participate in the windsurfing events at the Olympics. Olympic Medals have been won by athletes from 5 continents and athletes from as far afield as Fiji, Argentina, China, USA and Poland have stood on the World Championship podiums.
