Sailing with a kite<br />

Sailing with a kite [92]<br />

Kitesurfing offers unlimited possibilities for having<br />

enormous fun in water and the air. This fad, fashionable<br />

not only among young people, is a combination of a mini<br />

surfing board with a kite and provides many moments of<br />

pure delight. Looking at people gliding 10 m above the<br />

water, hanging from lines attached to a kite it is hard not<br />

to be a little jealous. These are people with wings. People<br />

on a journey.<br />

One of the best places for kitesurfing is Rewa Bay near<br />

Gdynia. It is a sheltered location where the wings of a kite<br />

can be spread in safety.<br />

Better for you than sex or cigarettes<br />

It’s a great way of losing weight. You just need 2 to 4 days<br />

depending on the wind to learn how to kitesurfing. After you’ll<br />

never think again about any other sport or ways of spending<br />

your spare time. You just have to check the weather forecast<br />

and the strength of the wind on your favourite beach before<br />

every weekend and holidays.<br />

The Hel Peninsula offers many professional places to learn<br />

this sport and to put it into practice. At 500 m from the beach<br />

the water is at waist level. Here you will feel very safe enabling<br />

you to learn how to windsurf and kitesurf very quickly.<br />

Sailing on ice [93]<br />

Ice-yachts<br />

Winter yachting on ice using ice-boats (yachts on ice skates)<br />

is gaining an increasing number of enthusiasts. People love this<br />

sport for its speed. Champions reach over 100 km per hour. In<br />

fact anyone can be a champion especially on the Great Masurian<br />

Lakes where in Giżycko, Węgorzewo or Mikołajki the<br />

conditions are excellent and the traditions of this sport go back<br />

a long way. The lakes freeze in December and safe ice lasts<br />

until April. Apart from traditional ice-boats you can try out<br />

new some of the inventions: iceflyer – an ice-boat with windsurfing<br />

sail and iceboard – a windsurfing board on ice skates.<br />
