This dramatic interest in the athletically demanding sport has given AKSA founders encouragement about the value of their newly founded organization. Long is quite enthusiastic about the sport: “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.”

Kiteboarding (Kitesurfing) Advice

May 31st, 2010 | Posted in Sports And Fitness   Comments Off

According to Logan Long, co-founder of AKSA, “No matter how good you think you are, you can get messed up….a broken line, a kite that has been let go, a wrong turn so be warned. Kite surfing buddies are very helpful.” Long also noted that, “Kite surfing is a great work out for your whole body: legs, abs, arms, lats and shoulders.” A yoga session before kite surfing is an excellent idea. Keep hydrated and carry protein bars for calories.

Kitesurfers are advised to keep all equipment in the car and should never leave wind to find wind. Kitesurfers must always check and double-check gear before it’s windy to be ready at a moments notice. Since the wind is very unpredictable kite surfers must be aware; it can be gusty, stronger on the outside, building, dropping, changing directions, or be accompanied by rain or lightning. It is critical to evaluate the hazards of the location and the ability to deal with them.

This dramatic interest in the athletically demanding sport has given AKSA founders encouragement about the value of their newly founded organization.

Kite maintenance tips

May 27th, 2010 | Posted in Extreme Sports   Comments Off

  Some tips from Big Air Imports NZ to maintain your precious kiteboarding kite and maintain it’s longevity.

Sun and wind: Sun is one of the major causes of kite damage. Don’t leave your kite on the beach un-necessarily and dont leave it flapping in the wind as this causes surface fatigue.

Setup on the beach: Pumping on the grass and carrying your kite down to the beach means you may get your kite/lines caught on rubbish bins, twigs and paths. All these things cause un necessary damage to your kite so pump on the beach to avoid this.

Unfold kite: Always unfold your kite before pumping up. Failing to do so will cause twists in your leading edge bladder as you pump and the kite unrolls itself.

Pack away your pump: Take the hose off your pump after each use, this will prevent the hose bending at the attachment point and causing leaks in your pump hose.

Avoid self launching: Try to get someone to launch you every time as self launching causes scraping on your kite which will cause damage.

Waves: If you drop your kite in the waves let it go! Waves are powerful and can rip through a kite easily, especially if there is tension on the lines holding it back. Let it go to avoid it tearing and swim after it!

Lines: Keep your lines knot free as a knot weakens your lines and puts you at risk of a line break. Always wash your bar and lines in fresh water after each use as this prevents the salt water from eroding your lines.

Avoid sand: Sand is the devil for kites, always wipe away excess sand as this causes wear on the kite cloth, eventually leading to the cloth wearing through.

Dry kite always!: Never pack your kite away when it is wet. You dont need to wash a kite off that often but if you do then ensure it is completely dry before it is packed away. Packing away a wet kite can cause mould and colours to run.

Use your kite bag: Especially if you have your kite in your boot with the rest of your gear. Fins, screws and other sharp objects can pierce your kite so use that flash bag to keep your prized kite safe.
