Are kiters acting more like surfers every day?

Press Release - Old-Timers Hurt Kite Surfing Sport Says AKSA President: "24-7PressRelease/ - FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, June 09, 2006 - Logan Long, President and Co-founder of the AKSA, the newly formed American Kite Surfing Association said, 'We have been very disappointed by the unfriendly reception of some long-time participants in kite-surfing. While some people have been terrific to new participants in kite-surfing, many others have been arrogant, uncooperative, and didactic. AKSA is more committed than ever to ensure this sport is open, available, and welcoming to anyone interested. AKSA will make that happen.'

Long also suggested, 'This organization is about inclusion. Many of the old-timers in the sport are arrogant and try to exclude the efforts of new participants. AKSA is about welcoming everyone to the sport of kite surfing regardless of experience level, race, ethnicity, gender, or orientation. We believe kite surfing is a great sport for anyone who loves thrills and adventure.'"
