This dramatic interest in the athletically demanding sport has given AKSA founders encouragement about the value of their newly founded organization. Logan Long, co-founder of the association was not surprised by the results; "It's just simply 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."

Boardercross is the newest discipline and the most dangerous in the sport of kite surfing. It combines speed kiting and freestyle. A course is set consisting of a number of buoys which the competitors have to go round. On some legs there are a number of inflatable obstacles which the competitors have to jump over, on others the competitors have to perform a standard trick which could be something like a back loop (a 360 degree backward rotation.) The winner is the first to cross the finish line. It is an action packed discipline where at any one time there are a number of competitors in the air, or crashing. It is potentially very dangerous and so using reliable safety systems are enforced. It is thoroughly monitored to uphold safety.

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 is to bring heightened awareness to this fast-growing, dynamic, and fun sport. A vast array of information, products, and techniques are available to the visitors of the AKSA website, www.kite-surfingusa.com. After more than a decade of popularity through Europe and Australia, active North American extreme sport athletes are recognizing the maximum adrenaline rush through kite surfing. According to Cathi Long, 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.
