Event Entries Information:
Cornish Coldwater Classic (CCC) is a not-for-profit organisation committed to promoting grass-roots windsurfing by providing competitors with the best possible platform: excellent conditions, high-quality judging, robust safety cover and professional media.
As with all windsurf competitions, the ability to run the event is dependent on suitable weather. Our aim is to hold the competition only when conditions meet the high standards that Cornwall often delivers throughout the winter. February has been selected based on its strong long-term wind and wave statistics, and the three-day rollover format is designed to maximise our chances of securing a suitable window.
To deliver a safe, well-run and professionally supported event, we must secure judges, safety teams and media crews in advance for the full potential event period. This carries unavoidable costs. For that reason, we will retain 25% of the entry fee regardless of whether the competition ultimately runs. This ensures that the event remains financially sustainable and can continue in future years.
Entries will close before any reliable forecast is available, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in supporting high-quality competitive windsurfing in the UK.

The Cornish Coldwater Classic 2026 is a Roll Over event which for 2026 counts towards English national titles.
-
A roll-over event accounts for the unpredictable nature of wind conditions. If windsurfing conditions are unsuitable during the initial scheduled weekend, the event automatically rolls over to the backup dates. This ensures competitors and spectators enjoy the best possible windsurfing conditions for high-quality performances and safety.
