South Cooking Lake Kite Fest
Well, I missed yesterday but got to spend the afternoon out there today. Sadly not enough wind unless you were flying something massive like in the
pics but quite a sight to see.

I've never seen so many Flysurfers at once! The pics hardly do the day justice.

I didn't realize there were people in the Edmonton area who had kites like this... I will definitely have to look harder when I move back in the fall!

No actual store to my knowledge but I THINK Pipeline might sell out of their shop. If memory serves me the local rep is Mike?

I've befriended the classifieds on this site but there are some that visit the kitesource.ca forums (pretty big community in Calgary actually).

www.windsurfingalberta.com is one of the main southern alberta classified sites there is no forum, you just email bob with your info and he posts
it. There is usually more kite stuff in the classifieds than windsurfing gear. "Bob's best bet" is the part to click on for good wind predictions in
southern alberta.
It is only active in the spring and summer.
www.highasakite.ca has a classified section in their forum - that might work. They are mostly keho lake oriented.
There is some kite stuff in the classifieds at www.nawa.ca the northern alberta windsurfing site.

Thanks,

Will I be O.K. posting for sale items on the Ed. and Cal. sites ??

High as a kite would have the most volume of people looking at it. There is clearly a for sale sticky on the highasakite forum.
You could email Jeff and see about posting a kite for sale on calgary kiteboarding. It doesn't get all that much traffic really.
