Extreme Element Pioneers 1st to snow kite on the Downs…

Feb. 3, 2009 - PRLog -- Extreme Element the Extreme Sports Specialist based in Hove made the most of the inclement and treacherous weather on Monday by taking their kites and snow boards up to the Devils Dyke for a team building and record breaking day off.

Tim Brickle, Managing Director of Extreme Element ( http://www:exelement.co.uk) said “As a keen kite surfer and snowboarder I had always been desperate to give snow kiting a go but never thought I would be able to do it in Sussex! The team at Extreme Element are all really into Extreme Sports and I knew that for all of us this was too good an opportunity to miss! We were the first people ever to snow kite on the downs – fantastic.”

After work was called off, the whole extreme team pilled into the company truck and anything else they could attaché snow chains too and headed up the Downs. Kitted out in snowboarding gear usually reserved for the Alps and loaded up with snowboards, kites, body boards and an extreme toboggan! The snow was knee deep in places and there was just enough wind to pull off some great tricks!

Alistair Carlow, Sales said “It was awesome I managed to pull off a back loop on snow – I only just learnt to kite surf recently but have been snowboarding for years so the transition was easier than expected.”      

Extreme Element  certainly made use of the worst winter weather in 18 years and if you are keen to learn snowboarding, kite surfing or any of the other sports on offer they are all back in the office now working hard (a little bruised) but ready to take your call!
