-----------------------
Ok, I'm not going to be in the Canadian Kiteboarding Chapionship in Iles de la Madeleine but maybe you will be or someone else you know. Right now I am busy with work and finding it hard to find time to go kiteboarding. My sister and her husband Francis just went to Nitinat this past weekend and my parents tagged along to take care of their daughter so they could spend more time on the water --- and I missed it. The wind is blowing hard here in Vancouver at Boundary Bay and still, I sit in the office and watch the webcams. Even Dan from Skypilot Kiteboarding was in last week from Calgary, and hit Squamish a bunch of times... again I missed it. I'm trying to find a place to go kiteboarding for Christmas so if you have any suggestions, drop me a coment below.

Good site. I'm just getting into kiteboarding and hope to be moving back to Vancouver soon. Good to check out the scene.
I'm in Cumbuco, just outside of Fortaleza, Brazil right now. I've been here for three weeks learning to Kite and it's been windy (17-25 knots) everyday except for four low-wind days. It blows side-onshore and has a really long beach so it's perfect for learning.
The town is really sleep so you have to drive for 30 minutes to Fortaleza if you want nightlife. If you're looking for a kiting Vacation - I'd recommend Cumbuco.

Hi Chris,
My tript to the Turks & Caicos was really solid! Rode about 70% of the time and conditions ranged from flat water to solid swell. Small islands with ability to check out various locations - I think Kitehouse is doing guided trips there now! we flew Air Canada from Van and it wasn't too bad (no charge on the gear)
Let me know if you want anymore info

Later - I am in the same boat as you, very little riding and too much work!
