That's friggin awesome! You totally rock on that thing Is that just a
skate deck/trucks mounted to a ski or snowboard? Sure looks fun when there's enough snow.Feyd - 30-1-2015 at 04:43 AM
Haaaaa! Best use of a Snowskate ever!
We used to sell those things. Well, we tried to sell them, there was never much interest. I didnt fly kites back then. If I knew then what I know
now...
Do they still make snowskates or did you guys just have one kicking around?
I bet the Peak makes things a bit easier than maybe some other kites? ssayre - 30-1-2015 at 05:39 AM
hell yeah!! Way cool. I'm glad I didn't buy any snow gear this year. We haven't had any snow to speak of.skimtwashington - 30-1-2015 at 07:43 AM
The simplicity of step on and go is what stands out. I have to wonder the security at higher speed runs. A kite that turns on immediate power would
exacerbate such a set up more so, likely.
Want to explore those mountains in the background for skiing!PHREERIDER - 30-1-2015 at 11:46 AM
man thats cool , love it. thats seems so much better than locked in bindings cruising around
switches looking smooth, looks like skim board/wakeskate beautiful stuff. Benjo - 30-1-2015 at 05:47 PM
Thanks all,
The board is a 2014 Lib-Tech with the 48" sub topped off with Rocker Snowskate trucks.
Rocker trucks help the ski flex for a better ride.
I also have the Lib-Tech pow snowskate (directional) which I prefer for downhill, the twin tip is easier for kiting as the smaller deck makes a gybe
difficult although not impossible.
This seem to be my go-to board for less than perfect conditions, the extra ankle pivot point helps with less stress on the knees from wind blown
crusty snow and it holds an edge with less snow than a snowboard.
I love the Peak for snowskate with the huge depower, low lift and how a quick pull on one steering line turns the kite 180 quicker than most others.
The strapless kiteboarding revolution continues!!

You rock Ben!rofer - 31-1-2015 at 08:44 AM
Damn, now it's getting even harder to keep myself from buying a snowskate.
Thanks for posting this awesome video.
Edit: Is it fun even when the wind isn't blowing? Interested in something I can use around campus when everything's snowy.soliver - 31-1-2015 at 04:55 PM
