Press Release Summary = Top Extreme Sport: Kite Surfing



Press Release Body = Among the sixteen hundred athletes participating in the study,
71% listed kite surfing as the most exciting and dynamic extreme sport. Only a
third had actually attempted the sport yet nearly all indicated that intended to
"give it a try" before the end the year. Participants were between the ages of 18 -
35 and all were self-identified sports enthusiast. In a national survey
commissioned by the American Kite Surfing Association (AKSA), kite surfing, a
relatively new sport in North America is ranked as the top Extreme Sport. The
margin of error in this research is +/- 2%. Other extreme activities were far
distance in ranking including skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, inline skating,
BMX, MotoX.

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."

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

surfing is unbeatable.kite surfers are simply the sexiest athletes." AKSA will
