The Kitewing is a handheld sail that has opened the door to many possibilities. It is like wind surfing, except the sail is completely unattached to anything and is handheld. A Kitewing can be used in any season, summer, winter, whenever.
You can use a Kitewing with a mountainboard, inline skates, dirtsurfer, longboard, whatever you want. Don't worry about it snowing because the fun doesn't ever stop. Use the Kitewing with a snowboard, skiis, or go on a frozen lake with ice skates.
With a Kitewing you can get going pretty fast and get some nice air. This is what they say on the Kitewing web site
"Speeds up to 100 km/h (62 mp/h) and 5 m high, 40 m long jumps on flat surface are not unusual."
5 meters is roughly 16 feet, and 40 meters is roughly 131 feet!
Here is a video of the Kitewing in action...

What do you think of the Kitewing?
Theres nothing cooler than gliding with a kitewing. I’ve owned mine for at least a year now, I only wish I lived somewhere like the places they have in the video so I could really experience a solid kitewing session.
I first came in contact with Kite Wings back in the day when they were known as Skim Bats. I hate to age myself but yep that long ago. I live up in Canada and now represent KiteWing for Canadian Dealers. It has been incredible to watch how the sport has increased over the years. This sport is truly an all season sport and their wave warrior is incredible. the extra few meters makes a difference. Im learning more and more as the years go on. One thing is certain Im never going to stop having fun.
Kitewing (Skimbat) IS an all season sport. Ice & snow in the Winter & pavement in the Summer. Don’t let the time of year stop you. See below:
