🇹🇭 Padiwat Jaemjan
The veteran of Thai wakeboarding, credited by Wikipedia's records with SEA Games men's wakeboard gold in 2011, 2015 and 2017.
Padiwat 'Bom' Jaemjan has long been the senior figure of Thailand's wakeboard team; Thai press already described him as the squad's veteran in 2015. Over more than a decade he has competed in boat wakeboard, water ski tricks and, later, wakesurf. According to Wikipedia's SEA Games pages, he won men's wakeboard gold at three editions: 2011 (adding bronze in water ski tricks), 2015 in Singapore and 2017 in Putrajaya, Malaysia, where he also helped Thailand win the wakeboard team event both times.
Thailand hosted the 2014 Asian Beach Games, with the water ski and wakeboard events held at Anthem Wake Park and Bangneow Dam Reservoir in Phuket. There, per Wikipedia, he won bronze in men's wakeboard and silver with Thailand's wakeboard team. Five years later, at the 2019 SEA Games in Clark, Philippines, he was part of the Thai team that took silver in the mixed team cableski event.
He represented Thailand in men's freestyle wakeboard at The World Games 2022 in Birmingham, Alabama. Thai media reported that he scored 39.89 to finish fourth in his qualifying heat, sending him to the last-chance round; his final placing could not be confirmed. That August he took bronze in master (30+) men's wakesurf at the IWWF Asian Championships in Chuncheon, South Korea.
