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.
