Eade, a 31 year old New Zealander is also the 13 times New Zealand Champion and 2 times Asian Australasian champion as well as the 2004 World Cup jump bronze medalist.

The MWSF spokesman said, “This is the golden opportunity for local skiers to be up close and personal with a truly world ranked great skier. Kyle has broken many records both in the Asian Australasian region as well as internationally. It doesn’t matter if our skiers at home are beginners or with experience but to take tips from Kyle and to see how or what he is capable of are of great benefit to us.”

He added that, “After more than 10 years since Malaysia achieved great heights in winning a gold medal, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals in the 1997 Jakarta S.E.A. Games, we have now started our junior development programme under Phillipa Yoong once again. The Putrajaya World Cup has kicked started our activities with the recent participation of our national skier, Phillipa, in the 2008 IWSF Asian Australasian Championship held at Chungcheon in Korea last weekend. Phillipa showed us she had not lost much of her skills by finishing 4^th in the women slalom event and 5^th in the women wakeboard event in the Asian championship. She, being our national waterski coach, will assist Kyle Eade in these clinics.”

WATERSKI COURSE AT PUTRAJAYA INSTALLED – OPERATIONS WILL COMMENCE ON 2^nd SEPTEMBER 2008 WITH THE WATERSKI DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

The Putrajaya Water Sports Complex is now the only waterski & wakeboard centre that has an IWSF homologated slalom course in Malaysia.

IWSF’s Homologator, Nigel Talamo had been in Putrajaya this month to supervise the set up of the 3-event course at the Putrajaya Waterski World Cup site. The course for slalom, tricks and jump events were successfully installed at the World Cup site. Talamo had made the initial checks on the readings of all the dimensions in his initial homologation check.

He certified it “extremely accurate and ready to go...”. He will arrive the week before the World Cup event scheduled for the 7 to 9 November 2008 to give the course the final certification.

Meanwhile the course has been shifted about 150m across to the Pullman Putrajaya Hotel/maritime Centre side of the Water Sports Complex. This location is cited as the “school site” where daily waterski & wakeboard operations will start from the Tuesday, 2^nd of September 2008.  

According to Linden Warner, the director of operations who will run the Putrajaya Waterski & Wakeboard School with the Secretary and chief coach of the Malaysian Water Ski Federation, Phillipa Yoong, the commencement of operations will coincide with the training of the school children from the Putrajaya schools as well as the children of the residents of Putrajaya.

Warner said, “This waterski development programme is supported initially by the Waterski & Wakeboard World Cup (WWWC), the Malaysian Water Ski Federation (MWSF) and Perbadanan Putrajaya (PPj). WWWC will provide the support staff and equipment while the MWSF, the coaching expertise and PPj the venue and infrastructure.”

He added that, “We will target up to 100 school children who are keen to learn waterskiing and who have the support of their parents from the age group of 10 to 15. The training is substantially sponsored and all they need bring is their enthusiasm and the ability to cover 50% of the costs of skiing. All manpower, materials and coaching are sponsored.”

Members of the public and tourists who are in Malaysia can look forward to another venue of waterskiing & wakeboarding with this latest addition in Putrajaya. There are two other waterski & wakeboard centres operating in the Klang Valley. One is situated in the Mines Resort near Sungai Besi while the other is located at Tasik Desa Prima in Puchong.
