IFKO LETTER TO IOC

2021-07-06

"this IOC´s abuse is leading dramatically to serious accidents including deaths."

"IOC is selling our sport with no authorization."

"Why does IOC want to insert a Kitesurfing discipline in the Olympics without its own Kitesports Federation?"

"people die because of bad decisions coming from people outside a specific independent sport."

"shocking increase of the number of deaths and severe accidents, caused because our very specific “Off-the-Beach Sport” organization is being illegally forced to be under a totally different “nautical sport”, thus blocking the Kite´s independent national association’s specific safety and training work."

KITESURFING INSIDE WORLD SAILING IS ILLEGAL

During April´s IFKO AGM in Guincho, Cascais, Portugal, President Fernandes expressed his legal perspective about Kitesurfing’s current situation in order to break the deadlock created between the 2 federations, IFKO and WS, and stop WS's illegal abuse of their dominant position that causes great damage and injury to the competitions, Kite structures, at International as well as National levels.
