No competitions on the first event day – typical April weather brought the whole range of conditions but just not enough wind – 35 snowkiters from 9 countries participating.
Vadsø presents itself as one of the best spots for snowkiting offering an incomparable wide and ample countryside. The favourite riders in the various disciplines are: Ivo Bryner & Roger Knechtle (both SUI), André Natland (NOR) & Florian Jellinek (GER) as well as Bjørn Kaupang (NOR).
