A new voluntary organisation has been set up to represent Kitesurfing in Ireland.

"Kitesurfing Ireland was formed earlier this year after it was clear that without representation it is difficult to have a voice", says KI's spokesperson Linda O’Dwyer.

The aim of Kitesurfing Ireland is to represent kitesurfers by promoting responsible kitesurfing, ensure access to kitesurfing locations and kitesurfing activities are in harmony with all beach, lake and water users through working with all the relevant bodies, government, local authorities, NGO'S and other like-minded organisations.

Kitesurfing Ireland is working with Water Safety Ireland to provide the local authorities with signage with Kitesurfing information for the public along with kitesurfers for the 2021 bathing season.
