Dear honorable Sir or
Madam
My
name is Annelie Cheng. Within the International Water Ski & Wakeboard
Federation (IWWF) I am Chairman for Cable Wakeboard Asia & Oceania
Confederation and responsible for the development of the sport in our region.
We
ask you herewith to support the Cable Wakeboarding Center proposal in New
Zealand, planed and submitted by Rixen NZ and his partners.
On
the basis of the new established Wakeboard Park it would be possible to lay the
foundation for the establishment of a Regional Water ski and Wakeboard Club and
Team in your region.
The
new planned Cable Park offers the opportunity to expand the sports and tourism
branch in your Region and of course the IWWF is willing to organize also big
international competitions in future.
A
water ski & wakeboard cableway answers many environmental questions. It
blends neatly into any outdoor setting and is barely visible from a distance.
It is powered by an electric motor, ensuring that the air and water are kept
clean. Water cableways contribute to a great extent to regenerate and maintain
the biological balance in waters. Since they also do not spoil the landscape,
do not cause any noise or pollution of the water by oil, these cableways have
become very popular recreation grounds doing no harm to the environment.
Furthermore, due to the continuous splashing of water, cable water skiing /
wakeboarding also introduces about 200 kg of oxygen into the water on an
average day, equals 30 tones of oxygen per annum.
We
are sure that this new sport attracts the international Media and TV like
Snowboarding in the Winter Olympics.
We
feel very happy about that Mr. Martin and his partner wants to establish a new
Sport Park in your city, which needs no substitutes and can also be used for
School Sport education. Furthermore also National and international
competitions for children can be hosted at the new Cable Park without any
problems.
Yours
faithfully
Annelie Cheng

To whom it may concern,
This
letter is to signify GARAGE’s support of the erection of the Rixen Cable in
Onehunga Bay Reserve.
With
our background in local action sports we experience first-hand the positive
impact such events and facilities have on the community. This year we have been
at The Gravity Festival on Mt Ruapehu, The NZ SUP Nationals at Omaha Beach and
the NZ Bomb Comp on Lake Taupo. We consider ourselves as experts is this field
and do not hesitate in offering 100% support to Rixen Cableways NZ and their
venture.
The
top priority is the community of Onehunga, whom currently have nothing of this
calibre within their vicinity at an affordable cost. As a brand we are always
looking to encourage and support communities getting outdoors and giving action
sports a go, as an ever growing 150 million people participate in action sports
worldwide. The ongoing effects of Rixen’s initiative encourage health &
fitness, a community culture and the opportunity for Onehunga to become the hub
for the sport of Wakeboarding in not only Auckland, but New Zealand.
GARAGE
has intentions to film Rixen NZ’s events for broadcast on our SKY channel (CH
77), confidentially we are also making arrangements to broadcast Rixen NZ’s NZ
Cable Nationals LIVE on SKY Sport. Showcasing Onehunga at its finest.
We
look forward to being involved in such a positive community project in an area
who would appreciate this asset most.
Yours
Sincerely,
Lily-rose
