German Championships Series
Since August 2008, the German Windsurf Championship is held as a competition series (before that the title was fought for only at the last tour stop). Now all DWC tourstops are relevant for the overall winner of the German Windsurfing Championship. The DWC series starts in August and runs until July of the following year, when the German Champion will be crowned at the final tourstop on the island of Sylt.

Events
The DWC tour calendar includes 6-8 tourstops annually at the coasts of the northern and eastern sea and also in the midland. The German windsurfing elite can be met during this time span for example at the Steinhuder Meer, the islands of Fehmarn, Rügen, Norderney but also in Boltenhagen and Kiel. The summit of the DWC season, the German Championship, takes place every year in July on Sylt.

Disciplines
The DWC disciplines are race, slalom, wave and freestyle (this used to be a combination of wave AND freestyle, but since the creation of the freestyle battles, this competition series counts as the official DWC freestyle competition – see freestyle battles for more information).

Regatta entry
The competitions in the DWC offer themselves as a perfect entry into regattas. Rookies get some more advantages: no material restrictions, loosened registration regulations, reduced registration fee. Moreover: a lot of know how of the professionals of the windsurfing scene.

In 2010, the DWC offered for the first time a “one hour” regatta which was very popular amongst hobby riders: this slalom format is geared towards hobby racers and regatta beginners who want to try their first “professional” race. On a halfwind-slalom course, as many racers as possible can compete against each other.
