WELCOME TO 2013 - a New Year and
a New President - Paul
Leone! "We received an early Christmas present last November when the ISAF General Assembly reversed an earlier decision of Council and re-instated windsurfing and the RS:X Class as an event and equipment in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. We can look forward to this new year, and beyond, with confidence and optimism - we are part of a great sport with a global following; optimistic that the sport can emerge stronger and more unified and that collectively we can ensure its Olympic future beyond 2016." |  |

After 10 years in the Chair, Ceri Williams has stepped down to concentrate on his full time post as IWA Executive Secretary. |
