The Collegiate Kiteboarding Association has seen massive growth since the establishment of the organization in America. Like any new sport, the CKA would like to encourage the formation of new clubs to increase college participation to progress the sport in the kiting industry. All that is really needed is a little passion and motivation. There shouldn’t be too many hurdles to get a club going at your school.

Current list of members: - FSU Kiteboarding - UCF - Eckerd College - UF - UNF

The Collegiate Kiteboarding Association was started in 2003 by Matthew Sexton who held the first ever college kiteboarding competition in the Florida Keys over Spring Break. He built the organization up into a committed group of college kiteboarders who ran the biggest events and parties on the East and West coasts during the CKA’s peak . These riders have all grown up to play instrumental roles in the kiteboarding industry and we have finally recognized that it is time to register the CKA as a nonprofit organization 501-C.
