We have just had four days in a row of good wind here in the city. A popular place to launch is by the Spanish Banks West concession stand. Or hydrofoilers prefer the foot of Trimble street because it is closer to deep water. Remember that things will change at the end of May when the lifeguards start. We aren't sure exactly what restrictions will be in place but we are talking with the Parks Board. For local wind conditions the best sensor is at the Jericho Sailing Centre.. (click on the Weather link at the top of this page). Of course a good wetsuit, gloves, booties and a hood are recommended. The best winds for kiteboarding in the city usually occur in April and May and then again in the fall.
