The wait is over! Australia's first 100% dedicated Kiteboarding program is finally hitting the airwaves during the holiday friendly time of 12.30pm Tuesdays commencing January 2009.
Featuring some of Australia's and the worlds best riders, trick tips for beginners to the advanced rider, buyers guide advice and highlights of some events across Australia and abroad.

For those who cannot tune in to Foxtel's Fuel TV, the DVD series will be available to purchase at selected retailers and online throughout January and February.

Well without giving too much away of what we will feature on the show, there is definitely a location specific push for each discipline, which is to be expected.

Re board off in logo, we understood the cliché at the time, but hey, gotta respect your roots aswell, to date I have not seen a board off on the wakeboard scene so it remains a unique trick and style whatever your take on it is, but cheers for the input.

Without giving ourselves more plugs than shane warne, show will be Tuesday’s at 12.30pm starting 6th Jan, enjoy!!!

Great timing for release of what promises to be another milestone of kiting in Aust.
Knowing the time and planning that has gone into this production we know that KiteLife is going to be huge.
And all AKSA members - thats everyone who has signed up for the season through any of the 6 state KSA affiliates - will be receiving a free copy of KiteLife in the mail as soon as they are released. If you havent joined yet or havent re-registered for this season then now is the time or risk losing out on this one of chance of getting your own copy FREE.

Copies will be forwarded from your state KSA with new registration packs or as a direct mailout for those already enrolled.

Cool, but do you mind me asking why we get a copy for free? Did AKSA sponsor the show or something?

Yes your AKSA is one of the many sponsors of the series.
AKSA has been involved with the production and presentation of the KiteLife series from its planning stages onwards. We saw a huge PR advantage for kiting in having a high profile, industry produced production which guaranteed to promote a responsible, safe and 'clean' image of kiting to both enthusiasts and the non-kiting public.
Our involvement has guaranteed the series will feature individual safety segments in each show as well as portray an overall 'responsible' image/theme throughout.

It is hoped that the series will be another, major arrow in our growing quiver of materials we can present when we need to defend our sport on the basis of 'look how well we can self regulate'.

It is also hoped that the production will re-inforce the desirability of AKSA membership and the PL insurance it provides to the many kiters out there who are currently carrying all their own risk. (which is a really big risk for us all as well)

So before the knockers start up the inevitable negativity of the good old forum bun fight let us say.....
Some would argue against it - some always will whatever way you go. We; the 6 state reps which make up your new AKSA board; consider it very well planned and executed expenditure which we believe will deliver dividends in many areas.
