Is the OKA going to set rules for kiteboarding in Ontario?
No, the association does not have the authority to set rules or, for that matter, to force anyone to do anything. As kiteboarders with very few exceptions, we’re privileged to be able to do whatever we want, pretty much wherever we want. But we all have a common interest in kiteboarding responsibly and not losing these privileges. The OKA encourages local kiteboarders to establish guidelines for responsible riding at their spot. The OKA’s role is to help spread the word to riders across the province.
