Chinese Taipei has joined the International Surfing Association, surfing’s world governing authority recognized by the International Olympic Committee. The Chinese Taipei Surfing Association (CTSA), led by President Ying-Che Huang, has been a leader in the growing popularity of the sport of surfing on the island of Taiwan. It is now the country’s National Governing Body (NGB) of surfing, as determined by the nation’s Ministry of the Interior. “This will affect Taiwan’s surfing environment in many positive ways, such as upgrading the quality and number of our contests, improving judging and coaching performance and increasing surfing’s popularity in the country. We also want to generate more quality athletes to participate in world-class competitions.” “I am thrilled about the news, and happy to welcome Chinese Taipei to the international surfing family. We’re witnessing amazing surfing growth in Asia and we’re looking forward to introducing the sport to more countries in the region", added Fernando Aguerre, ISA President. |
