Our vision is a thriving east Kent water sports community, where everyone, regardless of background can access our beautiful coastline and enjoy the benefits of nature sport and community in a safe and sustainable manner.

Kitesurfing can be life-changing — but it’s not always easy to get started. That’s why one of our key aims is to break down the barriers to entry. EKKC raises funds and builds partnerships to help young people and those from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds access lessons, gear, and safe progression paths into the sport. We want to make sure the freedom, confidence, and joy of kitesurfing is open to everyone, not just the lucky few.

Kitesurfing is at the heart of what we do. EKKC exists to support the local kiting scene across East Kent, from Margate and Ramsgate to Pegwell Bay and beyond. We encourage progression at all levels — whether you’re learning your first body drag or boosting over the pier. By sharing session info, safety tips, and local knowledge, we help riders make the most of our incredible coastline while keeping things fun and respectful on the water.

We're more than a group of riders — we’re a community. EKKC brings together kitesurfers of all backgrounds to share sessions, stories, and a deep connection to the sea. We advocate for access, represent the voice of local riders, and host community meetups and social events to keep the stoke alive on and off the water. Everyone's welcome — from wind chasers and storm riders to fair-weather cruisers and total newcomers.
