Finse 2013

Some pictures form our annual kiting week in Finse, Norway 02-09/03/2013:

Panoramic view. Click to enlarge.

Mika with a Beringer Skisail 8 m2. Skisails don't have lines. The bar is mounted

directly to the bridles that define the canopy.

Carving on Finsevatnet lake in great conditions! There are  three groups of

bridles: leading edge (yellow),  center  (red) and trailing edge (black). 

The bar acts directly on the angle of attack of the skisail.

A great day for skisailing.

The direction is controlled by twisting the bar with respect to the canopy. 

Now, where is that loose line going?

One of the great things about the skisails is that they are quick and easy to

set up, land, secure and take down, making them very comfortable and safe

 to handle, even in strong conditions.

Take-off of the mighty Flysurfer Speed 3 19 m2. This kite kite fetures textile

(tube) valves (appearing as black rectangles in the chambers to keep the

canopy stable once the chambers are inflated. This is great in particular when 

restarting the kite in weak conditions.
