THE GRENADINES

Kitesurf Yacht Safari approx dates; March 2020 – booked 

There is nothing like kitesurfing amongst the incredible green’s that the Carrib offers and the best to be had is by boat! The Catamaran is the ideal vehicle to kite, sleep & eat from.

 

A small group of islands bundled together, sit nicely on the NE Trade wind belt & boost incredible kitesurfing conditions with smooth winds, colours that change with the hour, warm friendly people and a true taste of the real Carribean. The ‘grenadines’ are a playground that just allow you to play for long hours in warm turquoise water. Our dedicated Yacht Kite Safari allows us to moor the Catamaran in unique kite surf locations and use the boat to eat, sleep, rest, repeat!!! An example of this Kite Yacht Safari is below which involves maximum kite surf time however more sailing is possible if you wanted.

NORWAY - Snow Kite

15th-19th March 2020

The Trip: Perhaps the most easy kite sport to learn, needing only 5 knots of wind it is possible to fly the kite while being pulled along the snow. Kite skills , skiing or snowboarding skills all assist the learning curve.

 

Travel: Flights to Oslo, the snow kite trip to Norway is organised to run from Sunday – Thursday however there are options to stay longer.  Approx 4 hour drive from Oslo to the Haugastol where the real journey begins.

This allows us to focus on the snow kiting & other activities we can do.

The SnowKiting:  The Haugastol is situated at the start of the Hardangervidda Plataue which is a vast national park & the highest platue in the Northern Hemisphere.  From the Haugastol the 10 minute drive to spot 1 at Orten or further along the plateau are 6 other spots that we use depending on wind & visibility. The area is vast, exposed & like Dartmoor on a very snowy day! There are options to learn on the lake where it is ideal to get the feeling of being pulled along on skis or a snowboard by the kite.
