Spot Details
The Oldman Dam, 2 1/2 hours south of Calgary, is one of the best windsurflng sites in western Canada. With the advent of sheetable kites is is quickly becoming a fantastic kite destination as well. It is very windy here a lot of the time, even when the wind isn't up elsewhere. Bring the whole quiver, down to 3.5 square meters windsurfing sails and a 7-9m kite for the moderate days.
I understand there is a bit of user conflict at Windy Point at the OMD ... if we are kiting there ... remember there is a 30m restriction in place. Don't be a jackass and huck close to shore! Force 10 is taking steps to smooth this misunderstanding over ... in the meantime ... lets be good citizens.
