What Is a Kitewing?
You’re probably familiar with kites, but have you ever heard of a Kitewing? This innovative sport combines elements of sailing and flying, offering an exhilarating experience on various terrains.
A Kitewing is a lightweight, handheld wing designed like a kite, used for sailing across ice, snow, and land. In winter, riders pair the wing with skis, skates, or a snowboard. During summer, you can use rollerblades, a mountain board, or a skateboard. While I haven’t tried it in summer yet, winter rides are incredibly fun. I often glide across frozen lakes, but snow-covered open spaces, like mountains, offer an even better experience. All you need is a bit more wind in the mountains compared to the minimal 4-5 m/s required on flat ice.
While I’m not an extreme rider, others have discovered the Kitewing’s potential for impressive jumps. Some might even call it flying rather than jumping! In 2004, Andreas Laurent, a Kitewing team rider and helicopter pilot, set a world record with a jump of 505 meters (1666 feet).
If you’re a speed enthusiast, the Kitewing won’t disappoint. In ideal conditions, you can reach speeds between 60-80 km/h, with the ice speed record standing at an impressive 107 km/h.
Enthusiasts of Kitewing riding often share interests in snowboarding, downhill skiing, windsurfing, and mountain boarding. If you enjoy these action sports, you might find yourself captivated by the Kitewing. Compared to windsurfing, it’s easier to learn and offers superior jumping capabilities. The symmetrical wing design allows for quick transformation into a horizontal position, turning the sail into a flying wing.
If you’re seeking a thrilling new sport, the Kitewing might just be what you’re looking for!
