• The seafront can get exceptionally busy both on the beach and within the water. No matters how competent you’re, or great the conditions look, in no way risk the safety of others.
• Constantly maintain a 50-metre downwind safety zone between yourself and other craft. From the event of coming into conflict with other water users stabilize your kite at noon.
• Never kite surf within Ȓ-metres upwind of any moored vessel.
• In no way kite surf in or near towards bathing areas and swimmers, buoys and boat moorings.
• Certainly not practice jumping on land or close on the beach.
• When returning on the beach, give way to riders who are launching.
This dramatic interest from the athletically demanding sport has given AKSA founders encouragement about the value of their newly founded organization. Logan Long, co-founder in the association was not surprised by the results; “It’s just merely the biggest adrenaline rush available. The combination of air, water, land, wind power, physical strength and balance the force of nature are the qualities that attract Kite Surfers.”
American Kite Surfing Association is the leading organization for kite surfers in North America. Founded in 2006 by two extreme sport enthusiasts, membership is anticipated to exceed 30,000 before the end of the year. The purpose of the enterprise would be to bring heightened awareness to this fast-growing, dynamic, and fun sport. A vast array of facts, products, and techniques are readily available towards visitors of the AKSA site, www.kite-surfingusa.com. After much more than a decade of popularity via Europe and Australia, active North American extreme sport athletes are recognizing the maximum adrenaline rush by means of kite surfing. According to Cathi Lengthy, co-founder of AKSA, “The exhilaration of hang time in kite surfing is unbeatable…kite surfers are simply the sexiest athletes.” AKSA will select 50 leading industry product manufacturers to highlight and profile throughout an extensive national media outreach campaign.
