Floating on the Long White Cloud
I chose a wife that is as straight up as they come. You never have to guess what she’s thinking- she’ll let you know. And I love that about her. Strange then that I would choose a mistress who likes to play games. You think she’s’ telling you one thing but can never be completely sure. She always keeps you guessing. Sometimes I hate that about her, but if I’m honest it’s probably the thing that keeps me coming back to her again and again. I leave the comfort of my wife and family for what: to get my head played with by Mother Nature.

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.

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!

The June 2009 edition of Australian Kiteboarder magazine has a great 4 page article on our snowkiting trips in New Zealand. The article has plenty of information on the locations we snowkite in New Zealand, as well as equipment tips, travel to New Zealand and more. Here's a copy of the article for you to read.
