Kiting lesson review?

Hey everyone, I'm just looking into getting some kiting lessons within the next few weeks and it looks like there's a new gig in Port Alberni.

Wondered if anyone had reviews on this place that they could pm me?

Really excited to switch over from windsurfing, and PA is only 40mins away instead of ...

Does Anyone know anything about this gear?? Wondering what f

Trying to find out what find would fit this board. It's an old original
"Sailboard" think it'd be fun for paddling around on. The guy I got it from didn't know anything about the fins.

Does anyone have experience with these, or know what I can use on it???
Chere's, Ty

Where to get sail battens??

Hey, I'm just wondering if there's anywhere in Comox/Courtenay to get battens for an old sail? I need one that's about 6ft long to replace a broken one.
Cheers,
Ty

imcs

After some experimenting with these masts, I realize that the times they don't sail great are when they're mismatched, bottoms with the wrong tops...didn't think it would make much of a difference but it seems to. No labels on any thing so its a bit tricky to get the correct ones matched, tossed ...

Thanks for the info guys! The technical stuff is a bit confusing, haha.

So I'll stick with as short of an extension as possible and just keep messing with it until it doesn't feel squirrely in the wind.

No, I live in Courtenay, but I'll make sure to bring those masts for next time I'm in ...

Rigging and IMCS tests?

Hey guys just a quick question.
I have two masts, a 430 and a 460 that have unknown specs, all the info is worn off...and lately it has been a nightmare trying to get the right mast/sail/fin/board combination... really hit or miss.
Is there a way to test the IMCS of a mast at home on my own so ...

Best Campsites along the Gorge/Hood river for windsurfing

So, I just decided after talking to a guy at I.V (mandowind) to make a trip out to the Gorge. I thought it was time to see where it's all happening. I leave Wednesday and was thinking about camping out at Vineto State Park. I'll be down there for a week.

Does anyone know of any other good ...

Sunday (June 10th) was great at Island View. Not too much wind, swells were small. I also went out to Elk on the Saturday, it was reading 14knots gusting 21 around 4ish. Lots of good places for beginners. Willows is another place to spend some time.
