Long time no see, I have not written anything on this blog for almost 3 months … guess there has not been much happening here this winter. I have gone on a few trips (acctually alot) up to the montains, but the wind has not been cooperating. Allways great powder conditions, but no wind. Since the elements have worked against me this winter, I have gotten very few sessions on snow (I can count them on one hand).
Anyway, last weekend I packed my bag, got in the car and headed for Sälen in Sweden for the Nordic Masters event up there. And again the elements where against us, not much wind on friday and saturday. Kristian, one of the organizers for this event did a great job entertaining all of the kiters. We attended a sled race (all ages where welcome), drowe alittle scooter and got some tow-in sessions on the sick rails behind the scooter.
I belive we shuved enought alcohol in us on friday and saturday, so finally on sunday we got alittle bit of wind. Just enough to keep the 16m2 flying, and it turned out to be a sunny beatyfull day. Got some nice runs on the slider, but dude …. when you have not kited for 3 months … the skills seems to be alittle rusty.
Now we are looking forward to a summer blessed with winds from the south and warm sunny weather.
