A further step in the history of "Aufwind extreme" occured. Fortunate circumstances allowed one member of Team Aufwind to travel to Canada. Destination of the journey was Saint Placide, location of a kitefestival on ice. Together with some friends of "No Limit" the flight to Canada was already amazing. A lot of luggage had to be moved.
Arrived in St.Placide we had some funny and beautiful days with hard chill. For "frozen" kitefliers there was a little hut with a fireplace.
Look at the pictures, they tell more than 1000 words...
