Kiteboarding in BC

For some reason, I picture the havens of kiteboarding as tropical places, far off, lush locales where the sun is hot
and no one wears a wet suit. Not so. Turns out that kiteboarding is big in
British
Columbia
in a little place called Tofino. Of course, is makes some sense. Wind surfing has long been big
in the Northwest, given the wind-lover’s paradise of the
Columbia River Gorge. But as this article points out,
windsurfing is so 90s. Kite-boarding is where it’s at.
