Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites to maximize light wind efficiency in this low-wind environment. Flat water boards or hydrofoils are ideal for maintaining control in marginal conditions and shallow water.

Clothing · A 5/4mm wetsuit is essential during peak season (Oct-Nov) when water temperatures are cold. Booties and gloves are highly recommended for comfort and protection against the chilly Canadian lake water.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other lake users and maintain clear communication with other kiters on the flat water. Be mindful of launch area capacity during the limited windy days available annually.
