My name is Felix Kersten, I am  31 years old and snowkiten is my great passion.

I am frequently asked how I came to do snowkiting, or what snowkiting actually is.

Well, you probably know kitesurfing ( on the water). On snow it is very similar, you just use skis or snowboard instead of the kiteboard. I mostly practise my sport in Switzerland on frozen lakes or in the mountains.

Since I was a young boy I am fascinated by skiing and especially by freeriding. In 2011 I bought my first kite just to test and have fun and I was hooked right away. Initially I was also kiting on a mountainboard near my hometown, but I quickly noticed that it makes much more fun on snow. Nowadays, I mostly train on skis in the Alps. Sometimes you have the whole day untouched powder, you can ride up a mountain in minutes or fly down from it again even faster. These feelings are hard to beat!
In 2012 I had my first race, the German National Championship. Without any experience and any practice I finished the race at the third place. Now I was hooked not only to snowkiting but competing in it, too. So, this event became the start of my participation in international races. The last years before Corona were very successful for me. Since then I focused more on enjoying snowkiting in the mountains. My real passion,
