KSP 2011 Professional wave tour

Mission Statement:
The KSP’s mission is to supply the world’s top kitesurfers with a professional
World Championship Tour consisting of prime events in prime locations to
promote the surfing aspect of the sport and kiting as such to mainstream
media and the public.

Background:
The KSP was launched by a core group of surf-focused riders, driven by passion
and vision and established as a grass-roots non-profit association.
In December 2010 the KSP applied with the IKA (International Kiteboarding
Association) for the world championship title in the kite SURFING discipline and
got this title granted in February 2011, making it the IKA sanctioned world
championship tour in kitesurfing.
The IKA is a class association inside the ISAF (International Sailing Federation)
and the overseeing body of kiteboarding.

Kitesurfing has gained a lot of recognition in the past few years from riders
pushing the envelop of progressive surfing with kites in renowned
high-performance waves all over the planet, but has yet to be consistently and
legitimately represented in prime conditions in a professional, competitive realm.

Through it’s World Championship Tour the KSP aims to provide a professional
platform for both established and aspiring kitesurfers to showcase the pinnacle
of high-performance kitesurfing in some of the world’s best waves, enabling
them to set the performance standard for competitive kitesurfing for years to
come.
