About Extreme Kiteboarding Canada Style, Year-Round in All Conditions

Extreme Kiteboarding Canada Style - Adventures in Waves and Snow

For kiteboarding Canada has a lot to offer. This massive country has two oceans and countless lakes for kitesurfing and endless mountain vistas for all the snow kiting adventures you need. This means that while in Canada kiteboarding you can find good wind, flat water and waves in the summer and lots and lots of snow in the winter.

Canada is known for being extreme. Extreme temperatures, extreme sports ... no wonder kiteboarding is popular here.

There are groups of kitesurfers on the West Coast in and around Vancouver, Vancouver Island and Squamish. These locations are pretty close together and it easy to visit each spot on a weekend to enjoy all the beautiful areas South Western British Columbia has to offer.

Vancouver Islanders can travel to most places in a day and Vancouver and Squamish residents can visit Bellingham just south of the border or hang out in the Lower Mainland.

In Canada kiteboarding is being picked up all over the country. Ontario, Quebec and the East Coast all have forums now so local kiters can learn about good launch spots, check conditions and share information.

When many people think of Canada they, of course, think of snow. The reality is that the summers can get really warm (although you can't go wrong by having a 4/3 wetsuit for most of the year); and, there is access to snow anywhere in Canada in the winter. Snow kiteboarding is getting more and more popular as people find good spots and usually enjoy having the place to themselves.
