Best winter kiting spot at Kingston?
Good afternoon every one!
I'm from Gatineau(Ottawa).I'll be passing by this weekend and want to kite a bit.
I've been kiting for 12 years. I love the ice (speed)more than snow but I can appreciate the powder too...
Can you tell me where I could go...
Thanks a lot!
Marcel

Re: Best winter kiting spot at Kingston?
welcome to kingston,
the lake is covered with snow right now, condition are great. Your best bet is to go to the bottom of Emily St
https://www.google.ca/maps/@44.2228145,-76.491519,17z?hl=en
you can park there and walk out on the lake. I hear we might get some more snow this weekend.

 Re: Best winter kiting spot at Kingston?
Thanks for the reply Mike!
I had a great sesh yesterday.Wasn't the best condition with poor visibility but still managed to have a good 76km distance...
I'll certainly be back with my wife and grand-childrens.
You guys-girl have a super spot....and loved the "steady" Wind. At least you've got some compare to Ottawa's crappy Wind....

Hey Marcel
We were chatting today about South Padre - send me your email as I'd love to pick your brain. Much appreciated.

Thanks Marcel, just sent you a note.
Yeah wind died just in time for that one...or maybe I was camera shy.
Here's nice one Eric Healey caught from the underside:

Re: Best winter kiting spot at Kingston?
nice photo Craig ! Props to Eric for sitting right under the kicker to take the photo. If the wind had died at just the wrong time that might have hurt
