Youth Olympic Kitesurf Squad

Donation protected
In October 2018 the first olympic Kitesurf medals will be awarded at the youth Olympic games in Argentina.  Our aim is to support the young kitesurfers from the Team Bridge  Youth Squad to try and qualify for the 12 boy and Girls spots at the games.

The qualification process involves the european qualifiers in Dakhla, Morrocco and then the world Champs in aprill next year in China.  As you can imagine the costs involved are great and we are seeking some help  to go towards air fares, visas, entry fees and accomadion at events.  We are planning our own findraising events  but fear that on their own will not raise enough to  get us out to the Youth Olympic qualifiers.  We can’t afford to go, but want to get there to represent our country, to put Exmouth on the map – and it will also be vital experience for our future careers.  All donations will go to support getting our local Exmouth youth kitesurfers to the Youth Olympic qualifiers. 
 

There is no way we can afford to send ourselves there, but this is a really good opportunity to allow us to follow our dreams, to take us one step closer to the Olympics and to be the professional athletes for team GB in the future. 

 
Other sports have funding programmes, our sport does not and so we are left to fund this type of vital trip out of our own pockets, which even with Saturday jobs we will struggle to do with our school work!  Our parents also can’t afford to pay for the trips, so we are looking towards those that can spare a small amount, and if everyone does we can get on a plane, and compete for our right to a space in the Youth Olympics, and to represent our country.  We will also use the money to fund our training at home in Exmouth.  We support young kids from any walk of life, to get on the water and enjoy kiting.

 

Thank you to all who can donate and support us, everything helps!
