Action Sports Foundation is a 501(c)3 public charity created by action sports athletes, instructors, and industry professionals with a mission of preserving the environment, increasing access, and growing action sports in a positive direction. ASF connects the action sports generation to the non-profit sector, and has a whole new generation of Americans building positive relations in the community through public service events, programs, exhibitions, and training and safety clinics.

ASF is composed of several divisions, each with its own purpose, including ASF Environmental, ASF Adaptive Sports, and Kite4Life, our kiteboarding sector. We offer a variety of watersport programs for groups of any size, including kitesurfing, wakeboarding/ cable, Stand Up Paddleboarding, Surf and Skim.

Art For The Sky is one of our partners who definitely knows how to make a BIG impression in the community! Kiteboarder Daniel Dancer is a "sky artist" who creates giant art scenes depicting various marine and wildlife using real people as his paint drops and the earth as his canvas! His projects are usually done with local schools and are a great fundraising project for organizations.

Most action sports can be relatively safe, as long you have the appropriate knowledge, gear, and the right location and conditions to do it safely. One thing all action sports have in common, is that if someone with experience is there to guide you, learning is quicker, safer, and more fun. ASF and its partner coaches and athletes are creating programs, clinics, and courses that will help introduce the sports safely. We're also working to increase access to suitable coastal areas and waterways to practice safely.
