hopefully i will clear this up in one post. my school blue lagoon pattaya is associated with KBA. our collective buying power mean we can supply equipment to kiters at world best prices. i would like to add that i am setting up the KSA independently with my good friend sam marks. we have some volunteers to be local reps around asia. i am still looking for a rep for vietnam. this whole thing will not work without support. my own company magnumboards.com has fronted 5000usd for the start up funds. eran in hua hin has offered the services of his web designer free of charge. ann a local kiter has offered some office space free of charge untill we get running. it is my goal to provide this organisation as cheaply as possible. we hope to achieve this by securing sponsorship where possible.
i am forming the kite safe association ok KSA to achieve the following
1)set up and follow minimum safety guidelines
2)advance safety and grow kite boarding
3)help with getting liability insurance for schools and individuals
4) promote local events and sponsor local riders
5)implement a real global licensing system with real license cards for riders and instructors
i am getting alot off positive feedback on the forums and the ocasional negative ones. all i am asking for is a chance to launch this without bias. we will only get one chance. one a name is ruined then it will never work. i am offering complete transparency and will publish the accounting books online. we are working like crazy now registering our business name, setting up our offices and building websites. meetings this month should help us to form an international association that can be recognised world wide. if youwould like to help us or join us then please message me. thanks to all, and happy new year.
