The first Kitewings were designed only about ten years ago by two fellows, Sami Tuurna and Carl-Magnus Fogelholm.

Originally the wing was designed for cruising on ice but at the end of the 90’s a group of young snowboarders and extreme skiers tested the Kitewing. They found out the wing was perfectly suited for making jumps and tricks. Equipped with the new gear, it was not only possible to ride on practically any flat surface powered by the wind, but it was also fun and exciting.
