Freestyle at'Traction
Freestyle Attraction is now the largest gathering of winter traction kiting enthusiasts in Canada and one of the biggest events of its kind in North America.
This kite skiing event presents a dazzling show full of colour. The first "Freestyle Attraction" came to life in 1991 through the initiative of Concept Air Kites. In 2010, the "Freestyle Attraction” will host the 30th WISSA (World Ice and Snow Sailing Association) World Sailing Championships on Ice and is busy planning festivities and competitions which will take place over a period of 10 days.
The event takes place at La Baie des Ha Ha! on the Saguenay River. The geomorphology of the Saguenay Fjord in Quebec, Canada is a unique place in North America for kite skiing in winter. The sliding surface is exceptional and the wind, intensified by the fjord, is virtually always blowing. It is not surprising that the City of Saguenay is home to the largest club of wind sports activities in Canada!
The events takes place at St-Gédéon on the ''Lac St-Jean'' lake
