Ice skating Legend Surya Bonaly invests into XTRAICE for her Academy

April 28, 2010, Florida- Surya Bonalay, who is a Olympian Legend who was also is a nine time French National Figure Skating Champion (1989–1997) and also for 5 times has won European Figure Skating Championships (1991–1995) has ever since the end of her competitive career been doing shows around the world. On many of the shows she had performed on synthetic ice, but was never 100% convinced of it because of the high friction which makes that skating needs more effort and dulls the blades.

Everything has changed when Surya Bonaly discovered the latest technology in the field of synthetic ice: XTRAICE When Surya Bonalay tested XTRAICE for the first time she was completely surprised about the superior quality compared to others. Her first tests totally changed her perception of synthetic ice. She said that “the surface [XTRAICE] is much smoother than any other surface” she also mentioned that “the blades get not wasted that fast as other surfaces”.

Also she mentioned that compared to a lot of other synthetic ice, XTRAICE is seamless and you don’t have to worry where to step. Moreover she uncovered an interesting fact: While on conventional ice your feet get uncomfortably cold, on normal synthetic ice your feet get very hot because of the friction. Neither is the case with XTRAICE!

According to Bonaly, “After testing XTRAICE I was so convinced about it that I have bought my own surface for training and teaching. I can recommend XTRAICE as a substitute to conventional ice.” Her students can now get trained whenever they want because XTRAICE is available to them 24/7.

Founded in 2003, XTRAICE is a global company that develops, builds and installs synthetic ice rinks which have revolutionized the world of sports and leisure facilities, becoming a leader internationally. Its latest business milestones have included the installation of a rinks for Disney in Disneyland Paris and several training rinks for the
