Mission
The Sloan Kitesurfing Club is dedicated to fostering a vibrant kitesurfing community within the MIT campus. Our mission is threefold:
1. Inclusivity and Outreach: We aim to make kitesurfing accessible to all students, fostering an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment.
2. Adventure and Learning: We will organize kitesurfing trips to foster a sense of adventure, camaraderie, environmental stewardship.
Kitesurfing is a truly unique sport. First, at its core stands the direct contact with nature (water and wind) and local communities, which fosters a sense of belonging in the natural and cultural environment where we are practicing it. Second, for safety reasons, it requires a community while engaging in the sport, and we believe we can bridge that gap.
Kitesurfing can be a valuable and enriching part of the MIT experience, promoting physical and mental well-being, environmental consciousness… and a sense of adventure.
