On learning of the sad and devastating loss of Stephen Robertson from Australia, everyone who attended Hunstanton Ski Club’s Annual Trophy Presentation Evening on Saturday 12th November held a minute’s silence as a mark of respect for the loss of such a well-known and popular person.
On behalf of the Hunstanton Ski Club members, we wish to pass our sincere condolences on to the Robertson family.

“Stephen was training on the Hawkesbury River, ahead of the 50th Bridge to Bridge Water Ski Race, with current World Champion Chris Stout.
Stephen became the World Water Ski Racing Champion in Spain 1999 and then again in the USA 2001. His brother Paul was World Champion in 1991 and brothers Barry & Johnny crewed for both Stephen and Paul in the infamous Firebird race boats. Stephen achieved a great deal more than those world titles and gave back a lot to the sport. He is from one of the most well respected and talented water ski racing families in the world – The Robertsons.”
