My boyfriend will be here from England, March 20-April 12 and would love get out kiting with someone. Parksville, Nanaimo area but we will also be in Victoria at the beginning of April. If anyone is interested please e-mail me at

Hi Alison- Check the site for sailing locations and wind when the time comes....if it's windy someone will be there. :P

Columbia/ Oar Road on SE wind, Piper's Lagoon on NW in Nanaimo (offshore wind!). Cook St. Dallas Rd (not good for beginners! :? ) in Victoria or Gordon's (Muir Creek) past Sooke (near Shirley) on Westerly, Island View Beach on SE, NE.

There are local favorites with folks and I am sure they wouldn't mind if you private message them using the sailing log. 8)
