Slalom
Competitors navigate a multi-buoy zig-zag course of left and right-hand turns. The final position is based on the fastest track time. It is at the discretion of the AJSA to provide penalty rules per event. Typically, a ten-second penalty is given per missed buoy unless the rider navigates back and correctly completes the turn.
Closed Course
Competitors will navigate a closed course composed of right and left-hand turns. A side-by-side gate start will be used unless otherwise stated by AJSA. Obstacles may be used in this style of event. Watercraft must meet AJSA requirements or will be subject to penalty.
Freestyle
