The World’s Biggest Snowkiting Event – Red Bull Ragnarok is back!

Red Bull RagnarokAs the temperatures start to drop and our wetsuits start to get thicker, the water although still great from a wind perspective starts to look a little less tempting each day. Time to start considering and mixing in a bit of Snowkiting action.

What better way to get psyched for Snowkiting 2015 that to check out the world’s biggest snowkiting event, the Red Bull Ragnarok is back!

From April 9-12 this year hundreds of the worlds best snowkiters will head to Norway to participate in the Red Bull Ragnarok. Here’s the story behind it…

“The name “Ragnarok” stems from an incident in Norse mythology, describing the last battle between the good and evil Gods, where only the heroes of the battlefield survive. Red Bull Ragnarok imitates this myth in the respect that only a mere few snow-kite heroes will succeed. Endurance is paramount, and only the toughest riders will successfully complete the course.

Red Bull Ragnarok will take place on the plains of the Hardangervidda, a vast area with ideal conditions for kiting. The race format will be a mass start, where each participant must complete five full rounds of the chosen course (one lap = 15-20km) using only their kite, and either skis or snowboard.”
