Snowkiting Canadian Praries

I get a magazine every few months from my insurance company; which, usually covers topics in the prairies. The latest issue had a picture of a snowkiter on the cover. Inside has an article about a group of kiters in the provinces capital here's the link if anyone wants to read it:

I left a comment leaving my e-mail inviting any of the kiters to contact me if they are looking for someone to kite with. I make a few trips out that way each year.

Hmmm.. insurance company calling kiter "crazy".

I wonder how long before the kiting addiction (and any injuries thereof) is excluded as a pre-existing condition :ticking:

cool, some good exposure - hey it's all about exposure in the prairie winters.
Good stuff. A lot of people don't realize how long kite skiing has been around, it's actually way beyond the life of kitesurfing. I think the Erie PA IceFly hosted by Lee Sedgewick started maybe more than 25yrs ago now. I remember at least 23 years ago it was on. Snowboarding came later though.

The kites, which can be anywhere from two metres (22 sq. ft.) to 15 metres (160 sq. ft.) in area and priced from $1,000 to $3,000, are engineered for all types of riders: speed freaks, jumpers, even learners.


Looks like they are trying to discourage the uninformed/ poor shopers.:lol:
