See the documentary about the World Cup in kiting on NRK Web-TV

Did you miss the program "Folk" December 1. on NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting)? You can see the documentary about VAKE 2011 - the World Championship in long distance snowkiting - on NRK Web-TV (unfortunately not texted).

NRK review: Nils Arne Ro (45) is one of Norways' most experienced snowkiters. During three intense days he will fight for the World Cup title in the world's longest and toughest kite competition. Together with riders from eight countries he will cross the Varanger peninsula - using only wind power. It is going to be really tough, but also a wonderful experience - both for the kiters and those who help them towards the goal.
