In
this documentary,Pro World Champion Kite-Skier, Eric Marchand
introduces us to the spirit and the skill behind one of today’s fastest
growing international adrenelin sports, Kite-Skiing.
A
true original, Eric shares his passionate philosophy of Power-Kiting
from his home in Les Iles de la Madeleine, Quebec. People from all over
the world have discovered this island paradise, where the winds blow
constantly across wildly beautiful stretches of ice and sand. It’s a
perfect landscape for champions and beginners alike to Kite-Ski,
Kite-Buggy and Kite-Surf. They can rely on natural energy instead of an
engine, and the journey from extreme to extreme is one that people
return to year after year...
When
the World Kite-Ski Championships are held in nearby Lac St Jean, Eric
is there, along with competitiors of all ages and nationalities who
have travelled across the world to meet the Kite-Ski challenge. Each
has their own individual philosophy, but all are there to experience
the ultimate freedom of being one with the elements. And for a few
days, to ride on the Island Wind.
