Hey everyone, new to the forum. Just wondering if anyone has any good public fields, parks beaches etc. that are good for landboarding in the Barrie area. (By around Barrie, I mean within an hour's drive)

Thanks in advance,

Snowkiting... the endless search for snow

windseeker — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:49:57 -0500

Hey guys, I am not sure about the rest of Ontario but here in North Bay the lakes are well frozen with little snow the be found. On Lake Nipissing the average snow depth is between 3-5 cm. Due to the conditions, kiting with a board is very difficult. Does anyone know where there is a good spot with good amounts of snow in the Muskoka's or anywhere in Ontario for that matter. It would be greatly appreciated to hear from you so that the few kite deprived individuals in the North can score a good session somewhere.

Thanks

Kris

Epic was kind enough to send me a couple Demo kites (10m Screamer LE and 7m Screamer) to test and determine if Epic was a proper fit to deal with Darkside.

Need help with kite inverting on me

Kazi — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:18:22 -0500

Hey everyone,

I have a 12m Airush Halo that keeps inverting on me. It seems as soon as it gets a small lull or if i get somewhat close to the edge of the wind window it just inverts and falls from the sky.

I had a few of my buds try as well as some exp riders that have been riding for years and we all exp the same thing. There are two places to attach the bridles near the center of the leading edge, currently they are attached to the outer section, if I change where they are setup will that help?

Kite Culture is proud to present a free clinic for riders looking to learn about self launching and landing your kite. This clinic will discus a few common methods for launching and landing your kite which is required for snow kiting should the kite ever crash. And if you're kite isn't crashin, you're not learning! This clinic will allow participants to both see a demonstration of self launch and landing and perform both of these techniques under guidance.
