Home Like Holding the wind in your hands
Easy handling of a sail with the freedom of a kite
These are the new way to move with the wind on anything that is attached to your feet, be it inline roller blades, ice skates, ice boards, skate boards, kick boards, dirt surfers, mountain boards, skis or snow boards,
what ever, awesome toys.

We recommend that you do not go water with kitewings, as they do not float.
Special attention has been paid in the development to making the rig light,
strong and durable. The sail cloth is made of light polyester (dacron) or a
combination of monofilm and reinforced K-ply film, which lets you wingsail at
temperatures below -30 C.
Required wind velocity for wingsurfing is 3 m/s on ice and 5 m/s on packed snow.
Ideal wind speed for wingsurfing is 6-12 m/s. A skilled sailor can handle the
wing in 15-20 m/s winds and can reach speeds of 70-100 km/h (44-62 mph). Because
of the wing's aerodynamic properties, a skilled sailor can make jumps with the
wing.
The International World Ice and Snow sailing Association (WISSA) awarded the
Kitewing its "Best Design"award.
