About us
We have been active in the field of powerkiting since 2006. During that time we have organized many events and we have had countless participations in foreign and Czech competitions, which we have also been organizing for the last few years. We have done an expedition in Morocco, or supposedly the hardest snowkite race in the world (Varanger Arctic Kite Enduro), crossing the Onega Lake, or several World Championships and European Championships in snowkiting and buggykiting.
In the Czech Republic we are currently the only organizers of competitions in all three disciplines of powerkiting – snowkiting, landkiting and kiteboarding. Since 2011 we have been organizing the Czech Championship in Landkiting, which celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2015!
We are active competitors who occupy the leading positions in the Czech world of powerkiting. In our ranks you will find national champions and Czech Cup holders. Our members are representatives of the Czech Republic.
Since 2010 we have also been organizing snowkiting races under the name SNOWKITE STORMY ADOLFOV and it is the longest organized snowkiting race in the Czech Republic. We have held many teambuilding events and countless courses.
We can proudly say that hundreds of satisfied clients have passed through our school. We are the most comprehensive company dealing with this sport on the market and, of course, not only because of this, we have the most experience.
Courses
Courses are conducted with an emphasis on maximum safety and quality of instruction. We have many years of experience in teaching and hundreds of satisfied kiters have passed our courses. We fly and teach on kites of the well-known Ukrainian company AEROS and Swiss company GIN which is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of parachute and kit wings and which has been gaining success after success with its equipment.
We use quality and proven equipment. Our instructors have plenty of practical experience and each undergoes training so that the teaching is as methodical and practical as possible and your progress is as fast as possible with regard to safe handling of the kit. We teach and know very well the methodology of the international institutions IKO and VDWS.
We understand kiting as a SPORT not as a business and that is how we approach our clients who gradually become friends.
Super snowkite in Norway. Experienced instructors, great accommodation and lots of fun!

Thank you Mr. Instructor for the new ultimate board Youri Pro. It's curvier , so it's playful, but it rides nicely and doesn't throw water 👍🏻. It has a straight sharp edge which makes the edge feel good and I know what to do with my feet 😉 Just sign me up for another course - I need to learn how to land off those "high" jumps 😜

Kite course Sicily (October 2019)
We have just returned from a snowkiting expedition in Tyrol by caravan. Great organization, we visited beautiful kiting sites (lakes) in the Swiss and Italian Alps. Martin was well equipped with a rental car, so it was possible to adjust kites at will according to the strength of the wind. The weather was good - it was windy and the sun was shining, just beautiful. At the same time, there was a great atmosphere, a perfect group of like-minded people gathered. Despite the freezing temperatures I really enjoyed it and I recommend it!:) More expeditions like this one!:)
