Year end summary from ISA President

The International Surfing Association had a great year in 2008, but the same could be said of 2007, 2006, 2005 and so on. As ISA President, I have the enormous satisfaction and honor to preside at an ever improving organization in all aspects of our operations.

“A Better Surfing Future” is not only an ISA slogan, but rather our Mission Statement. That mission is what motivates us to work efficiently and move forward year after year, with our eyes, minds and surfing hearts in sync.

Natasha Sagardia


     

The flying Puerto Rican

Who would have imagined that one of the greatest world bodyboarding talents would be born in Rio Cuarto, Cordoba, Argentina, kilometers away from the nearest beach? Not many and certainly not in soccer-loving Argentina, where very few know that one of its citizens is the current World Bodyboard Champion. She is Natasha Sagardia and is 22-years-old.
