Kitesurfing 101

Kitesurfing

After our Backbone Trail excursion, we parked facing the ocean at County Line Beach (across from Neptune’s Net) and watched the kitesurfers and windsurfers. Now we are both itching to get on a kiteboard and get flying. I need to start looking into wetsuits ASAP, because the Pacific is generally way too cold for my liking, even in the summer.  I also need to find out where to get some kiteboarding lessons.

In the meantime, though, here are some great resources I found on kiteboarding/kitesurfing:

A wetsuit is a really great idea. I have a drysuit, and I JUST got out of my local lake. I was testing how cold it was to see if I can kite or not. The ice just came off and there is still icebergs, but in the drysuit I think I can kite!

But, whether its Feb 4, or the middle of summer, I wear a drysuit all the time. Its just way too cold otherwise (I live in northern Canada)

Cheers!
