Hello dear Patrons! This time something different. in April I had a chance to do something that I've planned for a long time - multi-day kiteskiing trip in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area in Finland. It's a vast area with mostly just bare open tundra, very good for kiteskiing, but it's of course very exposed and the weather can be rough! 

Kiteskiing like this is in many ways like sailing, using the wind to your advantage and setting up camp in different beautiful spots each night. Sailors usually get the hang of kiting really quickly since many of the elements are the same.

PS. This was probably my stupidest video project so far. It's quite long and was a lot of work to put together. I really should've cut this into several parts, but on the other hand I don't want to flood the Youtube channel with "non-sailing" videos... I'm afraid the general audience might not take it so well. I might do one more winter video, but at least after that there will be a jump to "real-time" sailing content :) We're super excited and eager to get to Norway to the boat! The border has just opened up...!

Let me know what you think!
