by George Mojo
17/01/2007:// Newquay's Dave Reed remains the only Briton on the ASP Europe board after the organisation's 2007 annual general assembly in France.
Reed, who is the director of the successful British Pro Surfing Association whose tour has been running for several years, is one of three board members elected.
Clyde Martin and Antonio Pedro are the other two to take seats after being elected by members, including organisers and surfers representatives..
ASP Europe also revealed Dave Mailman is its new president.
After more than twenty years of commitment and passion, Rip Curl International’s CEO François Payot, founder of the European Professional Surfing Association and worldwide ambassador of european surfing, left his position.
Under his leadership, the Europe leg of the pro tour has become the biggest leg of the series in the world.. He remains chairman and intends staying in touch with his new team.
Dave Mailman, well known in the surfing world for being “the voice” of many events around the planet, is a former marketing manager at Quiksilver Europe and owner of the Volcom House in Hossegor.
He now sits as the new ambassador of ASP Europe and is definitely ready to handle the responsibility.
“Surfing is getting huge, thanks to our organisers we have the biggest leg in the world and we will host two 6 Star WQS Prime events this year with the O’Neill Highland Open in Scotlandand the La Santa Surf Pro”, said the new president.
“There are many things to be done to keep improving and we at ASP Europe will work together to offer you the best show as possible." he added.
Along with the nomination of the new president, the entire board was re-elected, bringing former Tour Manager Jan Holzer back in the association, as vice-president.
The eight members will be in place for the next four years from now on, and work to improve everything that can be improved.
