Transfer from wheelchair to Sitski

People with strong arms can manage transfers between wheelchair and sitski without problems

Description
The height of the Tornado Touring sitski can be adjusted between 32 cm and 58 cm, which makes it easier to transfer from the wheelchair.

Technique: Position the wheelchair at a 45 degree angle to the sitski. Move forward in the wheelchair and move one leg over onto the foot bar of the sitski. Transfer over and move the other leg over.
