Anyone up for a snowkiting trip to Iceland?
Who’s up for a snowkiting trip to Iceland?
We hope you guys don’t mind us posting on your forum, but we want to invite you to join us for a little snowkiting trip we run each year in Iceland.
If you like the snow and you’re into kiting it’s probably your kind of adventure. We’ve got ultra-steady glacial winds, wild volcanic landscapes,
jacked up superjeeps, luxury timber cabins, geothermal hot-tubs, knowledgeable guides, home cooked food and 24 hour daylight.
Next trip: 18th to the 25th May 2012 (or stay a bit longer and party downtown in Reykjavik too)
We have a video from the last trip on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTu4scE7byY
If you want to find out more we have a facebook page and a website:
www.snowkiter.co.uk

Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like some info, or just add a like to our Facebook page,  |

I'd hear ads in various media how Iceland promotes a lot of very affordable tourism for different seasons (trying to convince younger guys that it's a
"party place to be!").

me--i died of embarrasment...... maybe i should do some dramamine or something...... i dont know how you can ride a kite buggy overpowered with your
life flashing before your eyes, wreck, and get up laughing, and be afraid of flying, yet i am......
