The Snowkite

Among all sports that arise from the kite, like mountain board or kite buggy, snowkiting is probably the craziest discipline that derives from it.

For the practice of this sport takes several things but the main thing is, a comet, a snowboard or skis and wind. Currently, to my knowledge, there are no stations that allow the practice of this sport in their tracks, but if practiced on the frozen lakes and wide valleys of any station (catalunya spots look below).

At first, it is the same principle that guides these athletes come from elsewhere. They use a material identical or very similar to navigation at sea. Most of them are snowboarderos who have realized the advantage of freedom from all constraints and dependencies related to the relief of the Montner in winter or in the great outdoors altitude plains of the Great North. With the kite can, from now on, back and forth on the slopes of the mountains and plains with elevations by Vietnamese sometimes more dramatic than those that can be carried out on the water. It is not uncommon to see one of these new pilots on such long flights rise that could be considered an evolution of the glider.



In a few years, this sport has organized its mondo championship, which has since 2004 in four stages. France, U.S. and Switzerland Nuruega, media and patrocinadoresm for news for an increasingly younger, were actually released in droves, is in full expansion.
