The winter wing course brings the freedom of winging to the ice.
Choose your platform, grab the wing, and let the wind do the rest.
The course will be held in the Helsinki metropolitan area or, for example, on Lake Tuusula, depending on ice conditions.
The course includes equipment: a wing/parawing (wing sail or short-line kite sail) and an ice sled/snowskate/binding-less snowboard depending on the platform, ice picks, knee/elbow protectors, helmet.
If you wish, you can also use your own skates (hockey skates or touring skates are fine), downhill skis, or snowboard.
The course can also be paid with ePassi or Smartum. If you participate with friends, you can get the course at a package price!
