Hij is klaar, de Snowkite documentaire van Fred Contat. Another way, waar een tijdje geleden de trailer al online stond, is de hele video nu ook te krijgen. Tevens zit er een Nederlandse rider in, ik zei de gek, Emiel Rense.
Chapitre I : This is snowkite
Snowkiting is a "complete" winter sport. It allows to travel fast and efficiently in all types of terrain. IN this first chapter, we present a completer overview of what snowkite can allow. Get ready, it's going to throw down!
Chapitre II : Japan
To travel in a new country for snowkiting is never an easy thing. Either it is a country with some well known spots and we get stuck in the region "that works", either we go on an adventure with the risk of not riding very much. But at the end of the lone in this type of travels, the kite aspect is often secondary after the discovery of the culture, landscapes and customs.
Chapitre III : Friends
Even though snowkiting is a very individual sport, you will rarely see a rider go out on his own. We could summarize this by " Happiness is only real when shared".
Chapitre IV : Powder
Pow is a bit like the prefect barrel for the surfer, the Holy Grail. So when you have the chance to get some on your spot, you ride until you collapse! ;-)
Chapitre V : Québec
Quebec was the best discovery of the whole winter. 30 kiteboarders, lost in the middle of a giant frozen lake for a whole week, kilometers of ride every day and the discovery of the Cree culture...
Chapitre VI : Norway
In the last few years, Norway has become the mecca of snowkiting: a spot so big it takes multiple days to cross, dantesque wind conditions and most of all, a bunch of talented riders.
Chapitre VII : Snowkitemasters
Each year, the world snowkite championships take place at the Col du Lautaret in France: the Snowkite Masters
