Anyone planning on coming down south Snowkiting this winter? Check out the camp being held in Wanaka with snowkite Guru "Chasta". Chasta comes down every year and loves NZ. Great guy to ride with and learn from. www.boarderpatrol.com.au/index.php?optio...37&Itemid=55

There will be some instructors based in Queenstown and wanaka this year also and other crew. Anyone need any info about the area just ask. We need to preserve access, especially at snowfarm. Please park at the carpark and do not walk or drive down any other roads. They have multimillion dollar vehicle testing facilities adjacent to the kiting area and we need to make sure kiters stay off the roads or they'll give us the boot. We are currrently negotiating the access fee. If you aren't sure where to go-ask!

Ozone will probably hold some demo days as they did last season. Great opportunity to try out top of the line foils. Only other news is that it's snowing right now and looking good for early season.

Conditions have well and truly kicked in down here. The camps include all your food, transport in 4wd vehicles, access passes, guide, etc. You could bring a crew and hire your own vehicle, accomodation, etc but really we're talking $160 a day to have it all sorted for you. How much are you going to spend anyway trying to do it on the cheap? Anyway-we're giving away a FREE spot to our members so go to our website www.snowkitesurf.com and join and you might get on the camp for free. Otherwise just come on down anyway. We do lessons and rentals and sales or if you just need some info.
