The Varanger Arctic Kite Enduro 2013 will challenge the world's best snow kiteboarders, in Berlevåg, Norway, between 9th-13th April 2013.

The "Vake" is considered to be the world's longest, yet most beautiful snow kite challenge. It demands superior fitness condition and a focused mind. It has no marked tracks.
