Can you get lessons in Alberta??


Our entire holiday plans got squashed, as my son needs a lot of dental work with first available appointment just before we were heading out. Really disappointed right now as I was looking forward to getting lessons from elevation kiteboarding at Nitinat, but my children come first, they lessons could happen next summer. I have time still booked off, so we are still planning something closer to home. I'm wondering if anyone knew if lessons were available in Alberta and how reliable the wind conditions were that I could book and have a good chance that the winds would be there when I was. If not I will hold off till next summer, or see if I can't arrange a quick long weekend trip flying in to get something in. Sucks cuz everyone was looking forward to this trip, but gotta take what life throws at ya.:saint:

Thanks
Shaggs

I am pretty sure that Jeff offers lessons at Keho lake out of Calgary ?
Keho has reliable winds from what I understand but it's a long drive and not much for Family to do ?

Mood: They're ALL good ideas. Right up until they become BAD ideas.

Hit the local forum and look up Jacobus (Jack Z). He's IKO Certified and his prices are super reasonable. Cool guy - he's a kiter's kiter. Hell - he may even come to you.

You've also got some guys close to you - ten foot toque? Are they still around?
