What Is A Kitewing?
You propably know what a Kite is, but have you heard about the
Kitewing?
The kitewing is a lightweight hand-held wing shaped as a kite
that can be used for sailing on ice, snow and land with a pair
of skis, skates or a snowboard. This is done in wintertime. For
summer use one can sail with the wing using roller blades, a
mountainboard or a skateboard. I haven´t yet made it in summer,
but winter usage is really cool. I mainly ride at frosen lakes,
but snow-covered open spaces like moun-tains are maybe even
better - You just need some more wind to get it going in the
mountains. On plain ice you just need a little as 4-5 m/s of
wind.
I´m no extreme rider, but some other people have found out that
the wing is also capable of doing jumps. Well, several 100
meters is maybe more flying than jumping? The current world
record from 2004 is 505 meters (1666 feet) made by a Kitewing
team
rider and helicopter pilot Andreas Laurent.
If you like speed the wing gives you a good ride. In optimum
conditions, you can reach speeds between 60-80 km/h, but the
speed record on ice was 107 km/h the last time I heard about it.
I have found out that people interested in Kitewing riding are
usually also interested in snowboarding, downhill ski-ing,
windsurfing, mountain boarding and other action sports. So if
you are into those sports you might get hooked. And if compared
with wind surfing, this sport is easier to learn and the
Kitewing has much better jumping qualities. The good jumping
quality is because the symmetrical wing can be turned quickly
into horizontal position - the sail can literally be transformed
to a flying wing.
