Finally some wind! What a spring.

Denny and I went to the park just before Niagara-on-the-Lake. This is a great spot for NE winds. Today we were on our 7.5/8.0 with winds in the 15-19 knots range. It picked-up nicely around 2pm and we were both fully powered. The water is warmer (around 19 degrees). For those who kitesurf, there was one at the park and he launched just a bit downwind from us in a clearing near a rocky point. Directly across, although hard to see, is the CN tower in Toronto (maybe 22 nautical miles across).

Great spot. When you arrive, take the small road that will lead you to the very far left (west) part of the park. There, you can rig and walk about 10 yards to the water. Here is a clip from today.
