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.Source: Windsurfingalberta.com
