Use to be the Bosn's locker, but the last time I went there ( April 08 ) there wasn't much left for kite surfing other than a couple of harness, a 5th line set up and some small accessories.
Is there anyone that knows if Paul is still on the island?
There is a surf shop downtown (Broad Street) that sells Ocean Rodeo Dry suits and maybe other Ocean Rodeo stuff? (Not sure, I never went back and will never buy there anymore).
The place I prefer to go is at AirtimeBoardSport in Vancouver, the guy name is Philippe, I have always been happy buying there, good advice, good vibes from the guy. He carries Ocean Rodeo, North, Naish, Cabrhina, Ozone and some others... He can also send the stuff by the mail.
There is also Mark Sprungmann in Victoria that can get you any Best Kiteboarding stuff, good guy to and like Philippe he is very professional and gives you good advices, explain you everything on the gear you buy, different set up etc...
There might be more and I am not sure if there is a new kiteboarding shop in town now, but I would like to know if there is one:)
What is you level anyway? Can you get on the board more than 3-4 seconds? If so and your next step is to learn to go upwind, I have a board to lend you (My knee is crap for at least 3 more weeks anyway). Can't wait to see the smile on your face after seeing you not being able to get back downwind with it!!!
