Craig Gertenbach – Industry Representative
* Peter Krimbacher stood down during the year to be replaced by JF Reggio.

Annie Dollery – Administrative Secretary

Significant developments during this year include:
i) ISAF recognised the Techno 293 Class as an International Class; the IWA continues to promote the worldwide development of junior and youth racing through the class.
ii) ISAF recognised the Speed Windsurfing Class as an International Class – ISWC.
iii) ISWC and Formula Experience classes join IWA.

The IWA works vigorously to develop competitive windsurfing; to publish a clearly defined structure for the sport and to co-ordinate the international calendar.
