Yesterday WAKSA received and accepted the resignation of Ian Young from his position as the Vice President of the WA Kite Surfing Association. With the new season approaching, his personal and business commitments are such that he is unable to continue to donate the massive amount of time that he has always been willing to, to ensure the success of our sport.

Although disappointed with what is clearly our loss, the WAKSA committee members have all expressed individual and joint appreciation for the long-standing contribution that Ian has made as one of the founders and key members of the kiting community, not only in WA and Australia, but Internationally. His drive, energy, and commitment will be greatly missed by WAKSA.

As everyone knows, being a WAKSA committee member is a voluntary task, and we are stoked that Ian has been able to take such an active role for such a long time.

Ian, we would all like to wish you the best with your business for this coming season, and for your role as the Director of the Gravity Games that will take place mid October. Your contribution has made an enormous difference.

See you on the water mate.

WAKSA Committee, on behalf of the WA Kiting community.


PS – to everyone who reads this message, please add any thanks and comments. Cheers.

Now comes the summer of too much fun for mr Young, looking forward to some sessions at secret spots with a few cold ones watching the sun set over the greatest ocean on earth.

Gavin

Thanks for all those kind words :-)

I believe that the work of AKSA and WAKSA is critcial to the development of our sport, safety and continued site access.

Although I have stepped down as a WAKSA committee member I intend to continue to be actively invloved, particularly in safety and competition aspects.

After seeing the flaming Ben got with images of the past I'm not sure I'd want to publish any historical shots of KiteSki, Peter Lynn C-Quad, 2-line foils on reel bars, etc :-)


Cheers,
