In order to offer users the best possible gliding experience, Lugicap takes a number of important parameters into account.
The playground
The terrain on which Sled is to be used determines the type of Sled to be chosen.
The skating rink
Ice skaters can use a variety of surfaces to practice their sport. The indoor or municipal rinks are facilities specially designed for ice skating, with smooth, well-maintained surfaces. Many cities have public rinks where residents can skate at their leisure at set times.
Frozen lakes
In winter, frozen lakes and ponds can also be used as natural surfaces for ice skating, provided the ice is thick enough and safe enough. This is particularly true of frozen lakes in Scandinavia and Canada, where, thanks to Lugicap, "luginauts" can enjoy their leisure activities to their heart's content.
NB: Be sure to scrupulously follow the guidelines for skating on frozen lakes before practising on this surface.
Whether on ice in a skating rink or on frozen lakes, you can enjoy unforgettable moments of leisure aboard your Sled.
Recreational sports for all.
Type of use
