The World Wakeboard Association (WWA) has named the Extremity Games (eXG) as a qualifier for the new adaptive standing and adaptive sit-boarding divisions for the 2011 Air Nautique WWA Wakeboard National Championships. Extremity Games will be held June 24-25 at Texas Ski Ranch, New Braunfels, Texas.
“The WWA is looking forward to our new partnership with Extremity Games and expanding our divisions at the 2011 Air Nautique WWA Wakeboard National Championships,” WWA President Shannon Starling said in a press release. “The level of wakeboarding that the riders in both of our two new adaptive divisions are able to accomplish is fascinating.”
“We look forward to providing the opportunity for adaptive athletes to compete at the next level…there is no replacement for the competitive spirit,” said Beth Taylor, executive director of Athletes with Disabilities Network, organizers of Extremity Games. “It’s great to see the athletes pushing themselves further every year.”
