Introduction
Lake St. Clair Kitesurfing Association is a non-profit
organization developed to assist our kitesurfing community
in maintaining a safe riding environment. The association
committee will be working together to develop safety and
zoning guide lines to prevent the banning of our sport from
our favorite riding location and make our beaches safer
for riders and spectators. In addition the association will
be working with our beach communities to provide improved
beach maintenance.
The association committee is dedicated to preventing the
banning of kitesurfing from our local beaches. Our hope
is that together with our members we can develop the safest
environment possible to continue to grow as a community.
