Kiting, also known as foil, is an exciting and fun sport where the participant uses a kite as propulsion to move forward. This adrenaline-filled activity allows you to experience high speeds and fantastic nature experiences. In Finse, kiting is a popular activity, thanks to the unique landscape and stable wind conditions.
Kiting involves using a kite to harness the power of the wind and achieve movement. The speed you can attain with a kite depends on the wind strength and the surface. Typically, you can reach speeds that are 2-3 times the wind speed. Kiting is not just a sport; it's a way to explore the terrain and play with the wind in your local area.
