Winter windsurfing flourished in the early 1970s, and around the same time it appeared in Russia. This sport is practiced on ice or on the snow, while, like in summer, it is possible to ride on a kind of "waves" - snowy hillocks and low mountains. In addition, in winter windsurfing, athletes reach higher speeds than in summer.
As for snowkiting, it is called a primordially alpine sport, since it appeared in the 70s of the last century in the Alps, thanks to a German paraglider
Dieter Strazilla. This athlete is called the inventor of snowkiting, as he was the first to use slightly modified parachutes in relation to his own control system on the slopes.
