We heartbreakingly lost our best friend, best observer and biggest believer Ian Baker in a boat crash in November 2014. Ian was one of the founders of this team and will be in our memories forever. Ian was known all over the world as the nicest guy with a heart of gold, biggest clown, but most of all best Dad in the universe to his beautiful 4 girls.
