Spot Details
Source: Windsurfingalberta.comThe point at Kitebeach has been reshaped again and has been reseeded this spring. AB environment has just given the Force 10 boardsailing club permission to maintain the site ... according to their conditions ... eventually, it will be an awesome launch this season.
DUE TO THE CURRENT STATUS of Kitebeach, all camping and washrooms should be at Kehokipa or the Ranch. DAY USE ONLY at Kitebeach until status is in order, "Please do not jeopardize access to this excellent kite site".
Silty to Muddy Launch. Great place to learn and to Catch Big Air.
Bring your 6 to 12 m kites.
Best in SW to Westerly Winds.
Stick to the Road Allowance and DON'T Drive on the Pad.
