In this video we try snow winging for the first time and share our key takeaways from the experience - including how it compares to kiting for certain conditions. Thank you to Silent Sports for lending us the Flysurfer Mojo to demo with friends!

Thanks for the -20°C window cracking rule. Been wondering the limit myself for the past winter and have limited use of my Slick around -5...-10°C and packing carefully into huge paraglider backpack, so far so good.

To be honest, it looks more appealing and easier than winging on water. I have seen a lot of people struggling with wings on water, but finally I saw some folks who knew what at they were doing and made it look more appealing. But still... on snow seems more appealing, and less hazardous than kiting on a hard surface.

Outstanding! Where are you guys? I am in New York. I have some nearby lakes and ponds, and 2.5 hours away is Oneida Lake which is really large and runs east to west. Great fetch!!

I started to wing ski and wing foil last year. I started with a 6.0 m wing and now I have a 7.2 m Naish. Love it. Use harness for winter. Since I am a windsurfer the wing is more intuitive than the kite.

Nice! From what we've witnessed, those who know how to windsurf pick up winging pretty easily :)

Some problem with your 7,2m naish window /subzero temp ?
@q2w8i9o

We live by the water so I pump my wing when it stil warm after using it, I bring it in the garage where i put it to room temperature before I folded it. Otherwise the window will crack. I bought 2 more wings for my kids - without window.

not sure about being on ice like that, when using a snowboard and kite and wing i guess, remove the backs off the bindings, removes the pressure off your ankles makes it much more pleasant
@OurKiteLife
@OurKiteLife 2 года назад
Yeah that one icy session was no good - we were there for maybe 20 minutes mostly just having fun with the drone. Thanks for the tip on removing the back of the bindings.

The Ozone WASP v2 wing has windows made of a new silicone-like material that folds and doesn't crack anymore in low temperatures.

Boring? I don’t think so. If you go out in extreme conditions when kiting is dangerous it’s anything but boring. Check out my footage below from yesterday! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ply5BFgSdSs.html

Agree! great for learning the Wing Skills independent of board/foil skills. Parking lots with Longboard skateboards are stupid fun too. As drag decreases, i.e. longboard with blades(ice boards), turny longboard skateboards, firm snow allow lighter winds/smaller wings. Harness is easy and helps. Skis have more versatility. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jJhEKDf4VU8.html

Toooo cold for me. Living in Queensland Australia, winter means gets down to a freezing 20 degrees C and the wind drops down to foiling strength 10 - 15 knots and you need to wear a 2mm spring suit wetty. I can't imagine snow. I'm not as brave as you guys. Well done! Rest assured with global warming you'll soon also be kiting in 20C and I'll have cyclones. I better get a smaller kite.

Snow isn’t bad - it can actually be a lot of fun. And really, if you’re dressed appropriately, you’re not cold at all. That being said, I’m just a tiny bit jealous of your conditions! Your “cold” day is a good summer day for us!! 😄

Snow wing is a great way to step into winging. From a safety side you can very safely ride wings in winds from 15-35 knots and not worry about being launched. Skis are much easier than snowboard but on powder snowboard rocks. Harness lines and a seat harness are a must above 20 knots. ;o)
@OurKiteLife
@OurKiteLife 2 года назад
Good to know about the harness line and seat harness! Thanks :)
@feritall
@feritall 2 года назад
It was fun trying it out. It feels a lot “less formal” compared to kiting. No lines, no harness, just grab & go!
@SEAPanel
@SEAPanel 2 года назад
They don't have the power of the kites, but the ability to ride through trees and launch from difficult conditions makes it worth it. Also, unlike my kites, I can ride upwind, and depower downwind to carve some hills without the wing.

Lucky you to have such a nice icy, snowy and windy place nearby.🤗 I wish to be there but unfortunately I don’t see any snow coming these next 2 weeks to my place on the forecast!🥺 To be fair, I spend winter in the French West Indies, and the water is quite fresh those days (no more than 25C)😜😎, but the wind is pretty fair 16/20kts😇

Great video. Where are you located? I’m in the Beach. Ashbridge’s doesn’t harden up much, neither does the Outer Harbour. Is this Humber Bay, or Port Credit?

Thanks :) part of this video was filmed at Lakeshore Yacht Club in Etobicoke. The inner bay doesn’t always freeze (once every 3 or 4 years) - last year it did.

How much does it cost to get started.
@OurKiteLife
@OurKiteLife 2 года назад
Depends if you have skis or a snowboard already. If so, it's the cost of a wing - which ranges depending on the size and brand. Ballpark, $1000-$1400 CAD for a new wing.
