Press Release Summary = Boardercross Profiled by AKSA

Press Release Body = 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.
