Snow to Surf

Only a few days before, we had prime snow-kiting conditions. We took advantage of the thaw to squeeze in a mid-December water ride.

Final Ride of '06

16C warm southerlies gave us one final shot to ride. With our Pyros, we were able to stay in the water for over 4hrs without feeling the slightest chill.

What started out as a conservative ride turned into a pounding freestyle experiment. We took a beating, but rode like there was no tomorrow.

September Sessions

Another year has gone by and here we are trying to take advantage of every windy opportunity. Even if it means riding in a storm we are willing to take the chance, at least until the lighting starts. September has historically been windier than 2006, that just makes us hungrier for the wind. Hoping for a great fall... Shaun.

Just to clarify Jeff Lane is also a OR rep serving Ontario but big thanks to Dan at kiterider.com for giving kiteboardingontario.com and Ocean Rodeo some great exposure. This article is from the latest edition of SBC Kiteboard. Thanks Dan!

Surprise! It's Windy

On a unexpected Friday afternoon the wind picked and so did we. Jeff, Jess, Ash and myself along with the fams had a great afternoon at station beach.
This pic was from the week before a 16m Diablo and a 9m One.

Windz UP!

Kite Stock '06

Armed and dangerous on the beaches of Belle River.
The famous Barge is now infamous with a busted motor. But the winds were just enough for a mid-afternoon session just no downwinder.
Kites took over the beach on Sunday at Belle River. We waited all day for wind which was playing with us, but at the end I was able to get out on the OR Diablo 16m. All was not lost.

Heading out for a 2mi downwinder...baby steps I guess.

A Lone Downwinder

From Zion to Amberely. 16m One and a Jimmy Lewis Directional were needed for the light winds.
Happy to get a session in today when I thought all was lost with offshore winds. Nice day for a downwinder!

Shaun

Numerous Ones

This time last year if you told someone about a bow kite they would have said "What?!". Now that's all you see. Can't wait to see what weird thing we'll be riding next year.
Shaun getting ready for a fine SW session. Love the Mako!
Best Beach Tool.
Ash, hittin' it Mildmay Style! This is Ash's 2nd run of the year and it clicked today, way to go.

One by One

Cold water = Empty Beaches! The SW winds were steady and powerful as Ash and myself were riding 9m and 12m Ocean Rodeo Ones respectively. The water is still 38 degrees, but with the OR Pyro dry suits, we were warm and dry. I gave the OR Mako 150 another try and loved it, when this board connects in the water you can really drive the edge in hard. It did, for me at least, take a session to get used to, but it was well worth it.
