We will offer the opportunity to try Kitewings during Saturday if conditions are suitable!

The first new 2010 Rage 55 and Rage 55+ are now in production and ready for shippment to the dealers. The sail is improved by changeing the panel shapes and distribution for even better shape in the mid section and stability of the Leech.

The new 4CE kitewing is now in production.

The shorter wingspan of the 4,0 sqm size, 4CE makes it agile and easy to use, especially shorter individuals benefit from the shorter wingspan. Five battens, just as in the larger wings, make this wing the most stable wing made so far. The movement of the wing is quite predictable even in strong winds. Another factor contributing to stability are the wide wingtips. The stability and ease of use of this wing makes it the ideal wing for beginners and smaller riders, but also for more skilled and heavier riders in strong winds. The dacron sailcloth is resistant and care free, for maximum ease of use.

The first open trial day of the season will be held (if there is wind) on lake Bodom in Espoo on the 19th of December from 10:00 to 15:00. The best access to the ice is from Oittaa beach.

As there is little snow,  this day is intended for those useing skates . Warm clothes are recomended and all partisipants must wear a helmet. If there is no wo wind, there will at least be exelent conditions for skateing on the ice.

There will be other opportunities for those who want to use skis or snowboard, so please note this one is reserved for skates only.

All wingmodels will be awailable for trial and the goal is that everybody gets to try a wing, it will also be possible to buy wings on site.
