yeah thanks kyle..great write up. im heading out there this weekend, could be busy with the surf comp going on but will have the kite gear along anyhow. fingers crossed! hoping to get some kiting in courtney/comox before hand too. could be a good island kite week!

Awesome guide!
Perfect timing too since I'm headed up there a few weekends from now.

cool photo of the coast guard in Cox bay, eh? (it's not my shot).

Could be a chance of wind mon/tues if you're over there, but probably not worth the drive just to chase wind.
looks like some macking swells for the start of the O'neill comp this coming week. sick! I'll be there cruising around next weekend for the finals.

the key to tofino - bring kites, surfboards, SUPs, cameras... everything! You'll be busy all day.

re: cheap motels. Unfortunately "cheap" doesn't always fit with tofino motel. If you have more than a couple of people then you can get some great deals on cottage rentals though. that's the best bang for the buck if you have a crew.

Thanks Kyle, Good job! Definitely helped guide my kiter's perspective.

nice work dude...you need to put that in PDF or google doc or somethin'...leaving good info like that in a forum thread is just wrong!
