Has anyone tried snowkiting?
I recently took up kiteboarding and was I have seen videos of people
snowkiting and thought it looked like a lot of fun. I was wondering if anyone has tried this and if the equiptment needed is the same? |

I've seen this done in person as I was driving to Lake Louise from banff last feb, and his equipment looked like the other kiteboarders' in and around Toronto. I guess you'll just need to readjust the harness to fit around your shell. -stu |

I haven't tried it yet, but looks like this year things are coming together much better than last year so hopes are high. |

I've taken a few of my kites with me when I've been snowboarding but never
found an open flat area to play on, bloody mountains and ski lifts get in the way ;o) Definately will be trying if we get snow in the UK this year. -- kitemap http://kitemap.co.uk |

Check out http://www.kiteforum.com/ They have a snowkiting forum and can likely answer all your questions, -todd (started kiteboarding this year as well. I'll probably start "snowkiting" by taking my 3M trainer out on a windy day. It can pull me around a wet field on my ass so it should be enough to give snowkiting a first try.) |
