Nika - current holder of the Guinness World record for the longuest unsupported kitesurfing journey suffered a life changing accident in 2019 that sent her to hospital for over a year. Still recovering from the full reconstruction of her foot, she is already imagining her new challenge : crossing Lapland. And if she goes, she goes by her own rules : alone and unsupported.
In April 2022 she set off for the first solo unsupported traverse of Finnish and Norwegian Lapland, only with her skis, her kites and a sled....and it was a hell of an adventure !
