Governance
There is currently no single internationally recognised governing body for kitesurfing. The International Kiteboarding Organization's (IKO) mission is to develop and promote the safe practice of kiteboarding, and provides certification of kitesurfing examiners and instructors. The International Kiteboarding Association (IKA) is an International Class Association of the International Sailing Federation (ISAF). Its responsibility, amongst others, is to manage the global administration of the sport and combining world events into one united ranking.
There are also national and regional kitesurfing associations in many countries.
