Help continue the New Zealand Olympic Windsurfing Legacy by giving Natalia the best possible chance of selection for the 2016 Olympic Games!

Nationwide

Natalia Kosinska is a former ISAF Youth Windsurfing World Champion, and the current New Zealand Female RS:X Windsurfing Champion!

This year at the RS:X World Championships in Israel, Natalia placed 16th, qualifying New Zealand for a spot at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio... But narrowly missed Yachting New Zealand's tough standard for funding and selection to represent New Zealand at the Olympic games. Natalia has one more chance to meet Yachting New Zealand's Olympic selection standard at the ISAF World Cup in Hyeres, France, at the end of April!

Please help continue New Zealand's Prestigious Olympic Windsurfing Legacy created by Bruce Kendall, Aaron McIntosh, Barbara Kendall, Tom Ashley, and JP Tobin, by supporting Natalia's buildup to Hyeres, and giving her the best possible chance of meeting Yachting New Zealand's Tough Olympic Selection standard!

All proceeds will go towards new windsurfing equipment, professional coaching, accommodation, travel expenses, race insurance, and entry fees for Natalia's Campaign to the ISAF World Cup in Hyeres France, at the end of April.

Alex Hart's involvement (page creator)

Natalia put me under her wing when I was a youth windsurfer by inviting me to train with her off Takapuna Beach almost every day in the summer of 2013 and 2014. She gave me lots of tips that greatly improved my own windsurfing. I think Natalia deserves the best possible build up to her final chance of gaining selection to the 2016 Olympic Games!
