Snowkiting New Zealand with Guillame Chastagnol

It was like being in the same room with Yoda and Luke Skywalker.  Although I couldn’t understand a word they were saying, I was sure each phrase could unlock the secrets of the force.  Remi Meum had just arrived in New Zealand for the first time after bailing out early from Australia due to poor snow and wind conditions.  Chasta and I picked him up at the airport in Queenstown and headed straight up the Remarkables hoping the Northeast wind would kick in.  


After the success of our 2009 snowkiting camps in New Zealand, we're very happy to announce that we're doing it again in 2010!  Not only that, but Chasta has confirmed he's coming again and we've made some improvements...


It only takes a quick glance at the globe to see that the Southern hemisphere has far less land than the northern hemisphere and therefore far fewer places to snowkite.  A look at our earth from the poles is even more revealing.  The land masses of the Northern Hemisphere extend much further north while in the southern hemisphere there is the Antarctic in the polar region but the temperate zone is covered mostly by the oceans. Your choices are South America, Australia or New Zealand. If you're thinking of a snowkiting trip to New Zeland, then here's all the info you need.


Chasta has been hangin in New Zealand's South Island for the last couple months tearing up the Southern Alps!  He's been snowkiting on our NZ Snowkite Camps and also testing the latest kites for Ozone.

Check out Chasta's short video:


Here's a short video put together by Chasta on our second New Zealand Snowkite Camp.  This trip has some experienced snowkiters on it, along with some novices.  I'm sure you'll enjoy the footage!  If these trips interest you, get into our community and join the NZ Snowkite groups and you can be kept in the loop on future trips!
