In 2006, Lappis was born from kite skiing!
Kite skiing, a magnificent wind sport, combining the sensations of speed and freedom. Tatu, a Lappis individual, began kite skiing courses in Rovaniemi in 2006, and since then, it has been at the core of Lapland. Explore the fundamentals of kite skiing and discover why it’s one of the most splendid ways to enjoy the Finnish winter!
Kite skiing is a versatile activity, using kites ranging from 7 to 18 square meters to move with the force of the wind. Thanks to Finland’s thousands of lakes, kite skiing can be pursued in almost any location, offering a unique way to relish the winter nature.
Start Kite Skiing Safely – Lappis’ Kite Skiing Courses
Kite skiing is an activity that requires proper guidance and training. When approached correctly, it’s incredibly safe, but without proper instruction, starting this sport can pose significant risks. Lappis organizes kite skiing courses across Finland, providing approximately 6-hour-long training sessions. After completing these courses, you’ll be prepared for independent and safe kite skiing.
Vuonna 2006 Irlannissa asuessani menin leijasurffauksen peruskurssille. Muutama viikko kurssin jälkeen muutin rantakadulle, jotta pääsen harrastamaan kävellen, kun en omistanut autoa, vaikka tämä tarkoitti 45 min pidempää työmatkaa :). Tästä eteenpäin leijasurffaus onkin vienyt miestä ympäri maailman, ja parasta on tarjota näitä fiiliksiä myös asiakkaillemme! Voin siis aidosti suositella lajin aloittamista aivan jokaiselle!
