In just a few days time the 2019 IWWF Europe and Africa Wakeboard Championships begins in Kiev, Ukraine. The championship is held to find individual and team medal winners in divisions including the highly contested Open Men and Open Ladies. The event is the highest ranking wakeboard competition held annually in Europe and Africa.
Wakeboard UK and British Water Ski & Wakeboard are proud to announce the Team GB Wakeboard Squad who will attend and compete at the event. 13 athletes and 2 support staff are flying out to Ukraine this weekend with high hopes of an exciting and successful event.
Team manager Jeremy Nevill quoted “Team GB Wakeboard are in final preparation stages before heading out to Ukraine. We have a highly motivated squad of athletes and can't wait to get on the water and compete!”
Captaining the team at the event is Ross Phillips, supported by Team Managers Jeremy Nevill and Mark Osmond. In addition, Emma Phillips is attending to provide a much needed therapist to assist the riders during the competition.
