Hello all,
I just wanted to share this with everybody. This year I began competing in disabled wakeboarding. For many years the only form of disabled watersports was through the USA Water Ski Association. Well, for the first time, in 2011, there is a new league to participate in. The WWA (World Wakeboarding Associaiton)http://www.thewwa.com and the INT League http://www.intleague.com have added two new divisions for disabled wakeboarding. The named these divisions "Extremities". The first divisions is know as Adaptive Standing and the other is known as Adaptive Sitting.
Knowing this information I set out to be the first to compete in these new divisions. After the year ended I was named the 1st ever 2011 US National Wakeboarding Champion within the INT League.
The competitors in these divisions are allowed to compete at the same events that AB Wakeboarders are allowed instead of having seperate events like USA Waterskit Assoc. has. this provided more lime light on the subject of adaptive skiing and give you the chance to feel normal amoung fellow competitors.
I have put together a couple of videos and would love to share them with you.
This video is a compilation of footage from my competitions in the INT League:
This video is a compilation of my time spent at a local Cable park where you can wakebaord wiht no boat. (very popular in Europe)
I hope everyone enjoys this and it makes you want to get out there and compete so you too can show the world that "NOTHING CAN STOP US!"
