Hello From Nicaragua

Hello,

Shaun writing to you from Nicaragua! I Just thought I´d throw out a line and say that everything here is great and I am hoping to kiteboard tomorrow and Friday in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. I´ll keep you posted. Looks like Ontario is having great snowkite conditions! I can´t wait to hit it when we return.

Prime conditions at Bervie

Jessman and Ash cruised for hours in a foot of powder at Bervie, 10 minutes east of Kincardine. This has been our most reliable location with good snow volume and steady winds from most directions. We'll be there again this Sunday, Feb 12th for anybody who wants to try it out.

Winter wasteland

Adam was impressed with the pull of a trainer kite in a snowsquall, and it got him curious about what a real kite feels like. Everyone is finding it easier to learn kiteboarding on snow rather than on water, and it'll give us an edge-up for when the summer season hits.
All the shoreline snow has been blown inland so we've been riding the farmlands around Walkerton - and suprisingly, the winds have been quite stable.

Kiting on Skis and SnowSkates

Shaun makes kiting on skis look easy. I kept burying our Railz snowskate in the light powder, but it works great on well packed snow, and especially on ice. The Railz reps we met at SIA suggested we use a make-shift binding out of bike tire tubes for kite-boarding with their snowskate.
