Kendra Erhardt Named 2025 WSWC Female Development Adaptive Water Ski Athlete of the Year
Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada is pleased to recognize Kendra Erhardt as the 2025 WSWC Female Development Adaptive Water Ski Athlete of the Year.
Kendra’s season was defined by resilience, determination, and meaningful progress on the international stage. After sustaining a serious injury that threatened to interrupt her development, she committed fully to her rehabilitation and worked her way back to competition. Her return to form reflects both her work ethic and her commitment to the sport.
Her efforts were rewarded with selection to the Canadian Adaptive World Team, where she competed at the IWWF Disabled Waterski World Championships. Kendra delivered a strong performance, earning a bronze medal in Seated Ladies Trick—her first career international podium result and an important milestone in her progression as an athlete.
In addition to her competitive achievements, Kendra is recognized for the way she represents the sport. She is a supportive teammate and demonstrates respect for officials, coaches, and fellow competitors. Her approach both on and off the water contributes positively to the adaptive waterski community.
WSWC congratulates Kendra Erhardt on being named the 2025 Female Development Adaptive Water Ski Athlete of the Year.
