About Us
The A.K.A. is an institution for Kitesurf education. We are here to promote the safety of Kitesurfing internationally. Australia, USA, Hawaii, United Kingdom, Europe, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Dominican Repbulic, Cypress and Furetura ventura - These countries hold links with our Academy and specific schools that teach the IKO bible and philosiphy.
 
We are a small group of people dedicated to kitesurfing and promoting its growth as a mainstream sport. We envisage that in the near future the likes of the "X Games" and other Extreme events will showcase Kitesurf / Kiteboarding as their head line act. This is a sport in which anyone in good physical condition can participate. Whether it's "mowing the lawn" (cruising back & forth) or busting big "handle pass kite loops"  the A.K.A are here to help you.
Instructor history
Captain Nudge is the A.K.A founder and Head Instructor.
 
Australian born "Instructor Nudge" is an extreme sport's man of the 80's, who in 1989 held a 1st place BMX Title in the World Championships held in Brisbane Australia as well as several Aussie titles under his belt... 
 
Nudge has been an extreme sports' fanatic from an early age (his first BMX race was at age 6!). He was selected to for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney at the Australian Institute of Sport for Track Cycling. Unfortunately, a serious knee injury racing dashed his hopes for the olympics and ended his professional BMX dream.

Bikes, Snowboards, Skateboards anything thats moves Nudge will ride it hard.
Nudge travelled to Europe. Settling in England and got into power kites, he discovered a passion for a new extreme sport - Kitesurfing! Old 2 line foil kites. He started teaching kitesurfing in South East England in 2002 and travelled around the world, witnessing the growth of the international kite scene and making some life long friends on the way.
 
In 2005/06 Nudge gained his IKO Instructor's certification from Mr Jon Dodds (IKO007) from the Kite Club Caberete in the Dominican Republic With the enthusiam and determination of a World Champion he decided to set up the A.K.A, aiming to be the best kite school on the planet, run by kitesurfers for kitesurfers. Nudge is now a level 2 certified instructor going for his level 3 examiners certification wishing to spread the word on safety and teach up and coming performers the IKO way.
 
The A.K.A. courses are available in the Gold Coast Australia, Frinton-onSea in the UK, Peru, Dominican and Huntington Beach California. Some courses will be sub-contracted to A.K.A. affiliations and top mates around the world.
