kelowna this weekend

Post by juandesooka »

Any kelowna types with local intel ... I will be there Thurs-Sat this week. With the forecast, is it worth bringing gear?

Have big kites, foil, etc, so could attempt light wind if there's hope. But if it's pointless, I'll save the potential fees and hassles, leave the gear at home.
