If you want to hang out around Rustico bay, and brackley area. here is a good spot
http://www.cymbria.ca/
Me and my family camp there alot in the summer. you can walk to the end of the lane and see if any kites are in the air at Rustico bay. It is a very laid back campground.

Linkletter Provincial Park is just outside of the city of Summerside and is located right on the beach. You can walk litteraly 100m from your site set up and kite. They put some new showers and washrooms in there a couple of years ago also.

Cabot Provincial Park is another nice campground which is close to some epic kiting. Either would be good for camping and kiting.

I'll be heading to Princetown Pt. in Malpeque if the forecast holds. It's worth the drive from Charlottetown, trust me. Better riding then Rustico bay, especially for a beginner. The tide is nice there from around noon onwards on Sunday.

It is supposed to blow 40km/h SW on Sunday and be sunny and 14C. Any suggestions on where the kiters will be? I am new on the island, a relatively experienced kiter but don't want to go alone this early in the season (or any other time, if possible!). Map and directions would be greatly appreciated.

May 13

Someone asked about the location of Ross Lane Beach. It's in the Brackley Beach national park, a few kilometres east of the Stanhope light.

If you go to the link below, I've marked it on the map.

It would be great if someone could mark some of the other good launches on
a google map and post it here. Secret spot #5?? etc

Adam,
it's not a real loop unless you can do it on a c kite. My 1st attemps last year were on a c too. too fun. and lotsa pull. just wait till yer up nice and high to pull the trigger eh, and keep the nuts entacked. I can't wait to get out. My buddy Adam Steele may be heading out tommorrow a.m. near Ross lane in case anyone is free or unemployed..
Don.

East Coast Kiteboarding Discussion :: ABoards Kiteboarding Team rider Danilo Nacarato

Author: ABoards
Subject: ABoards Kiteboarding Team rider Danilo Nacarato
Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 9:18 am (GMT 0)

Danilo Nacarato is from Oporto, Portugal. He is 15 years old and he has 4 years of kiteboarding. This year Danilo became an Aboards Kiteboarding team rider. He has great goals for his career and 2008 - be the Portuguese champion, participate on KPWT world tour.

What was the reason for you to start kitesurfing?

I started kitesurfing because I love adrenaline.

One day, when I was 11 years old, I was arriving at home with my father and he saw a couple of guys doing tricks in the water with foil kites and he said:

_ Hey, Dani, do you wanna learn it?

_ Wow, for sure, this must be really great!

So, we had a conversation with the instructor and in the following day I was already learning how to kite.

In the second day I learned the water starts and was enjoying that feeling that just the people who kite knows!

Are you learning fast? Did all tricks come easy for you or did you need to work hard on each of them?

Yes, I think I can say I�m a fast learner, but that�s just a part of the work because you have to practice the tricks everyday to do it the most powerful and stylish you can, it takes a lot of time to learn.

What was your most fascinating moment in kiteboarding?

My most fascinating moment was when I started doing slimchances, that was my first handlepass trick which I will never forget the feeling.

What is your favorite trick?

Slimchance, Kgb and Blind Judge.

When I�m overpowered I like to do Big megaloops!

On wich trick are you working now?

I�m working on KGB to blind, Slimchance to blind and switch tricks.

Are you planning to participate on KPWT this year? How do you assess your chances?

Yes, I will try to participate in some of the seasons of KPWT like Turkey, Italy and some others.

Which is your favorite spot?

Esposende and Cau�pe (Portugal)

Who is your favorite rider? Why?

My favorite riders are Aaron Hadlow and Ruben Len10, I can�t explain why, they are my inspiration, they are just the best, someday I will be like them, I hope so.

Who is your favorite girl rider? Why?

Bruna is the best. xD

She has a lot of power and style.

Maybe someday Gisela will be like her.

What are your plans for future? After 5-10 years?

Be that kind of TOP rider that everybody knows I am!

What are you doing when there is no wind?

Graffiting, being with some friends, drawing etc.

Describe in few words what is your ideal day?

Sunny day, blue sky, 25 degrees, hot water and 20 knots.

What is your dream for life?

Living in a house in a paradisiacal place with my family, where, at the beach, the wind blows every single day.

Have my money, have my sponsors, have fun and go to the championships.
