INFO for Kitewing partisipants @ the WISSA 2011 event

January 12, 2011

WISSA ”pre race” / WWEC
There will be Kitewing racing, (not only training, as mentioned in some info) during the WWEC competitions held 26-27.2, right before the WISSA competition at the same location. There are both course and slalom events scheduled. There is no better way to tune in for the WISSA competition, so do not miss this opportunity.
The idea is to run Slalom races weak wind < 5 m/s (on skates) and course racing in stronger winds (on skis). Nordic skates are awailable for rent on site by Saimaaholliday, for those who need this service.

Kitewing spareparts
Kitewing Sports will have a comprehensive collection of spareparts awailable during the raceweek, all partisipants are offered spareparts at dealer price during this time. Partisipants are also offered the opportunity to pre order parts, the parts can then be collected at the venue. Any pre orders should be sent by e-mail to martin.finell (at) kitewing.com no later than 21.2.2011
