Finally managed to take action and contacted Karri Kolmonen in Helsinki for the basic lessons in Snowkiting. *The course took place in Laajalahti/Espoo. Karri is an all year pro for kiting and he gave us a great 4 hour introduction to the sports. We started by some theory, moved to practising with 2m2 kite and then to 6m2 kite.
(my good friend Tapsa giving an example;o)
The last hour I was even trying to snowboard with the kite .... this is definately going to be ground-breakingly-fun and something big for the rest of my life ;o)
I can now strongly recommend snowkiting - if you are in Helsinki go for www.karri3nen.com !
OK - now it's about 1.5 weeks since the course and today I finally made the investement to buy an Ozone's 10m2m Access kite. I did some serious thinking in terms of my principles to support local activities but finally unfortunately lost the battle ! :o(( The difference of about 140€ in price was too much I went for Internet shop.
I'm a quite an disappointment to myself anyway even though I symphatize myself...
Now I'm just waiting to get the kite and jump back to ice !!!!
