- Today, we go in depth on one of the easiest ways to learn how to WING! Snow winging -Gwen joins Lucas Arsenault, a Canadian pro kiteboarder and truly an incredible human. Lucas grew up snow kiting in the winter to keep improving all year around. Now, with the evolution of wing foiling, comes a new opportunity to play during the cold winter: Snow Winging. One of the best ways to learn wing handling and be ready for the summer on the lake or the ocean.
A huge thank you to the snow legend KEN LUCAS for providing footage of snow winging in Oregon.

Gotta say, the Tajima advertisement was good!
Not as good as the Tajima lenses 😜
Started my winging on ice skates this winter. It's amazing fun. The snow kiting needs to be top shelf to be better.
Epic friend thanks for sharing!
Love you guys
I'm just across the border from Washington State in Canada. We had a big storm and winged with my snowboard for the first time, So much fun
Ian that is what we like to hear!
Got my first wing this winter, stared on the snowboard.
Found ~15-17kt with a 6m wing works well and can get you going about 25km/h with a heavy lean. Holding both hands further to the rear of the wing to get the power to get going (flat/frozen lake). Defiantly need more of a hard base (4" powder max?) or you will just dig down and anchor in, at least with a snowboard. Cant wait for summer now.
Thank you for sharing friend!
I'm like WAAAAAAT?! You a really the first, and as always at the top, Guys. Love you.
Thank you for the kind words!
Wings also super fun with ice skates on bare ice. You can go scary fast.
Outstanding video! Even the product placement was fun. Good job my friends.
Thank you Jonathan! We appreciate you!
You can also do winging with inline skates (or quad skates or a skateboard or land board). I still have 2 Windskate sails that I bought for my Rollerblades in the early 90s. I should pull them out and make a video. I vaguely remember that one of them needs some sort of repair then I should head off to an empty parking lot on a windy day. I guess if I use my land board or Coyote off-road skates I could just find a nice flat field of grass like a high school football practice field, etc.
Love it thank you Pete!
Great vid! Highly recommended finding some ice. Loads of fun with high speeds 🙂
Thank you for sharing!
Winging on snow with a snowskate without bindings is super fun and feels more like on water than with skis or even with a snowboard. IMHO. But just have fun whatever you do!
Thank you for sharing!
OH, how I would love to find a massive expanse of wide open, snow covered land like that to play on. One thing is for certain, I won't find it here in the Atlanta area! ; ) Cheers
right!
Where in Canada is this location. It is fabulous. We wing and kite all winter in Ottawa Canada when the river freezes over.
According to the description it’s not even in Canada! Lol. It’s in Oregon but we have similar spots in Canada but not likely Ontario. I did see a place in Quebec a while back that was similar.
Awesome...Where is the Snow Location? Bucket list time.
I believe some of it is Fairfield, Idaho! So fun!
I tried a 5m wing on ice skates in almost no breeze and I was still able to cruise! What size wings do you recommend for snow? Any tips for protecting the wing from ski edges?
All depends on the wind but a 5m or 6m is a good size. Smaller wing is easy to keep away form ski edges but less power. Just put the time in with the wing on land before you hit the skis then you will have less potential to catch the edges with the wing! Enjoy!
so wingskiing or wingsnowboarding?
Your choice! :)
Some massive jumps with wing skiers from 15 years ago:

That is incredible! so awesome!
Hi Damien, I like your fantastic video, I have a small web sites, and surf school in italy, can I link your video on my web site, please? Thank you.
100% we would be honored! Thank you friend....
@@DamienLeroyRUclips Thank you again, bro!
Snow winging is about the easiest wind sport on earth.
Hi! can you ride the wing on the hills or in the tundra like in norway? does anyone have such experience? not only down, but also up the slope.
Sure can! Conditions will be depended. Lots of snow more drag with the skis and snowboard so will need more wind. Hard packed much easier as less drag on skis or snowboard.
