WHAT IS LAND-KITING?
This is the dry version of kite-boarding. It suggests moving on a mountain-board, buggy or roller with a kite, using wind traction. It is a sport in continuous progress, developing new technologies every year, designed to ensure the safety and performance of the rider. It can be safely practiced on any terrain that allows it. Attention! There should not be any obstacles in the area (like buildings, high voltage wires, trees, etc.). Practically, thanks to the kite you will use the wind to ride on fields and hills (in free-ride) or to do all sorts of tricks and stunts (in free-style).
WHAT IS THE DURATION OF A COURSE?
The full land-kiting course lasts for an average of 2-3 days, aiming to accumulate 9 hours of practice. The exact duration, however, depends on the weather conditions, especially the wind forecast. It can happen that course days are postponed in the absence of favorable conditions and, therefore, not to be consecutive.
WHERE IS THE COURSE HAPPENING?
Everywhere the wind blows, whether it is a land around Bucharest, usually Sirna – Tariceni Aerodrome, or the Dobrogea hills, one of the windiest areas in the country.
WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE?
The course is divided into several modules:
