What a great video...really sums up all aspects of what it takes to do something like this. What an adventure!!

I'm assuming it based on who has the best combined times for each leg? Also couldn't help but think how fixed bridles would far in this competition...would the winds change too much and would you have to change the kites too much? Having said that though, I think my choice would be a couple of Speed 3's!

looks like spots for this year are filled up ... oddly i've been told that they will welcome a Canada team last minute.

there is a team already for the USA, so good luck them. :thumbsup:

I WANNA GO!!!

Is that the Concept Air " Smart kite " I see there at the finish line?

I haven't seen one since NABX 2 years ago. I have been wondering what's happening with Concept Air in general these days ? They were poised to dominate in this stuff?

I don't think our local ( Van ) Canadian crew have the back country experience for this race ? Hopefully we can count on Quebec to keep Canada strong once again!

Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
