During january 26th & 27th, the kite school in Cortina d’Ampezzo KITE 4 FREEDOM organized an event, the first issue. An event powered by Ozone Italia, Stefano Gigli, Sportfun (http://www.sportfun.it" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
The spot was Passo Giau, 20 mn above Cortina, in the wild wide Dolomiti.
No contest, no stress, only friendly meeting with around 20 kiters, mainly italian guys. On saturday the wind was light but enough for cruising all the day. A seven hours session, all around the Passo Giau. Later in the evening, all the crew moved to Lago Misurina for a local style dinner. Then it was the Kite 4 Freedom party in the famous resort Cortina d’Ampezzo, at the Cristallino pub. Big party, after a so long day snowiting. On sunday, unfortunately a north-wind storm came and even broke some pine trees around. So the event was cancelled, a pitty for all the kiters and spectators here, who came only on this shinny sunday. For the first issue, it was a success, huge congratulations to Michele Ali’ (Kite 4 Freedom) and Stefano, Ozone Italia distributor. Chasta and me, we’ll never forget the Italian friendships, so cool feeling here. We’ll be back next year!
