Snow Surfing

Snow surfing represents a return to the timeless pleasure of gliding, propelled only by gravity. The experience is simple yet infinitely enjoyable for all. The lack of bindings allows you to adjust your stance freely and helps to improve your position as you ride.The team always tries to find the best untouched powder snowfields or forest parts for this tour, varying according to current weather and water level conditions.

This adventure is suitable for all experience types.You will use Ilahu boards that are designed and made in Finnish Lapland with a love of crafting natural materials. The boards are carefully finished by hand to ensure the highest quality.The long seasons and high snowfall (about one meter) mean that there is always something to shred.
